	ASARCO - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first environmental lawsuit was brought against Asarco in 1910 by a group of farmers in Solano County, California for the sulfur dioxide emissions from the company's San Francisco Bay smelter.
		In the 1970s, the Centers for Disease Control found that the Asarco smelter in El Paso, Texas was responsible for abnormally high lead levels in children who lived nearby.
		Asarco had more than 100 civil environmental cases pending against it when it filed for bankruptcy.

	Handbook of Texas Online:
		ASARCO, originally known as the American Smelting and Refining Company, traces its origins to 1881, when Robert Safford Towne arrived in El Paso after touring the mines in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
		During the 1920s ASARCO was the largest mining operator in Mexico, with twenty-four different units.
		In 1948 slag fuming facilitators were built for the recovery of zinc from the slag produced by the lead furnaces, and in 1951 ASARCO built a 612-foot smokestack to reduce ground-level concentrations of sulfur dioxide.

	Secretary of Labor and International Chemical Workers' Union Council v. Asarco, Incorporated
		Asarco argued, inter alia, that single-shift sampling is inconsistent with the language of the regulations and is not a reasonable means for determining excessive exposure to silica dust.
		In her opposition to Asarco's petition, the Secretary argues that, because Asarco received all the relief it sought before the judge -- vacating the citation and granting its motion for declaratory relief -- Asarco is not aggrieved, and the Commission is without jurisdiction to consider the appeal.
		Moreover, Asarco retains the right to challenge the Secretary's single-shift sampling enforcement policy in a future case where determining whether the dust standard was violated necessitates a ruling on the validity of single-shift sampling.
