Jl o H N Wirth's book on cross-border I pollution compares the controI versy surrounding the Trail smelter (1925-41) with a similar dispute involving smelter pollution along the American-Mexican border in the 1980s. The first three chapters examine events in Trail, followed by three of the events further south, on the Arizona-Mexico border. In the seventh and final chapter, Wir th argues that the second dispute shows that a growing awareness of the "continental commons" is emerging, although he feels that the mining industry has always operated in continental terms. Only recently spurred in part by new regulatory regimes and trading agreements that are integrating the continent have governments begun to follow industry and to think in similar terms. The book's chapters on Trail provide interesting detail on the famous "smoke case" that ran from the late 1920s through to 1941, although James Allum's unpublished dissertation remains the best account. Farmers in Washington State, with the support of the American government, sought compensation for damage to their land and crops caused by sulphur dioxide from the Trail smelter, which tended to drift down the Columbia River
