In 1902 a copper smelter was in operation near Anaconda, Montana. At the time of this study, it discharged an average of 59,270 pounds of arsenic trioxide, alone with notable quantities of copper, antimony, lead, zinc, and other substances daily. This paper deals with the distribution of certain of the more notable constituents of the smoke, particularly arsenic, over the district in the vicinity of the smelter, and problems associated with the arsenic deposited on the surrounding vegetation. These problems included the poisoning of cattle, the contamination of crops, and the eye and mouth irritation suffered by local farmers. The study concluded that the Anaconda smelter was the source of the arsenic contamination and that the only way to reduce the quantity was to use less highly concentrated arsenic ore. 9 references.
