On Sept. 3, 1973, a fire swept through the baghouse of the Bunker Hill mine in Idaho’s Silver Valley.

Key Points: 
  • On Sept. 3, 1973, a fire swept through the baghouse of the Bunker Hill mine in Idaho’s Silver Valley.
  • The building was designed to filter pollutants produced by smelting, the melting of rocks that separates metal from its ore.
  • At the time, the prices of lead and silver were climbing toward all-time highs.
  • They increased production, bypassed the filtration steps and, for eleven months, dumped noxious gases directly into the surrounding area.

How lead harms human health

    • However, we have zero need for lead.
    • It can also cause problems with brain development, kidney function and reproductive health, including miscarriages, prematurity and low birth weight.
    • The CDC no longer uses “level of concern” as a threshold, because there is no safe blood lead level in children.

Children’s health after the Baghouse Fire

    • The children of the Silver Valley were exposed to extremely high levels of poisons after the Baghouse Fire at the Bunker Hill mine.
    • Their average blood lead level was 67.4 micrograms per deciliter.
    • It is difficult to assess the extent of the damage from the Baghouse Fire in the children of the Silver Valley.

Continuing health risk in Silver Valley

    • The legacy of the Baghouse Fire continues to haunt Silver Valley, but that incident 50 years ago is only part of the picture.
    • At its height, the Silver Valley area had over 200 active mines.
    • It is estimated that the Coeur d’Alene River delivers about 200 tons of lead to Lake Coeur d’Alene every year.

Swan deaths show the continuing risk

    • In 2022, the average blood lead level for children in “The Box” was estimated at 2.3 micrograms per deciliter, above the U.S. average.
    • The average for the surrounding area was higher, 3.3 micrograms per deciliter.
    • Since 2008, average swan deaths are estimated at 50 to 60 birds per year.
    • There were over 300 bird deaths documented in 2022; a study is underway into the cause.

As Idaho’s population booms, people aren’t aware

    • With population growth comes development, digging and disturbing contaminated soil.
    • Idaho’s Panhandle Health District offers free lead screenings year-round to anyone living or spending time in the area.
