A barrel of methylene chloride, also called dichloromethane, a volatile, colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. Methylene chloride is used in various industrial processes, in many different industries including paint stripping, pharmaceutical manufacturing, paint remover manufacturing, and metal cleaning and degreasing. The most common means of exposure to methylene chloride is inhalation and skin exposure. It is considered to be a potential occupational carcinogen.
Produced by Comochem International, the Italian division of Morton Thiokol company. The Morton Thiokol Chemical Company was an American corporation founded in 1929. It was concerned initially with rubber and related chemicals, and later with rocket and missile propulsion systems. We wonder if the Thiokol Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster that befell in January 28, 1986 – despite prior warnings from engineers – could be in one way or another related to this waste. For more information, please refer to: https://onlineethics.org/cases/ethical-decisions-morton-thiokol-and-space-shuttle-challenger-disaster-introduction.

Subordinate militia men managing an illegal quarry whose environmental impacts Pierre Malychef has been investigating and publishing against, planted a bomb in the mid-1980s in his first pharmacy in Jal el Dib. The bomb was luckily detonated in Maychef's absence. This image shows Malychef standing in front of the collateral damage.

Close-up of a barrel with a sheet of paper taped to it on which it is handwritten in Italian "SACCHI SPORCHI Di ALLUMINIO - MAGNESIO" ("Dirty aluminum - magnesium bags"). The duct tape that is securing the sheet of paper on the barrel is labeled "RORER ITALIANA S.p.A." with the logo of RORER. The latter focuses on the production of organic fine chemistry, pharmaceuticals, machines, and macromolecular chemistry and polymers. The last patent published by the company was on April 2, 1987. Read more on: https://goodip.io/iq/assignee/rorer-italiana-spa#patents.
This lid ended up on Lebanese territories due the toxic waste deal between the Italian Mafia and the Lebanese Forces. This image was taken by Pierre Malychef in the late 1980s.

A photograph we developed from a roll of negatives found in the domestic laboratory of ecotoxicologist, herbal pharmacologist and environmental activist Dr. Pierre Malychef. Malychef has written on the envelope’s roll “INCENDIE DORA” showing images that were all taken on the March 30th, 1989, documenting the dark grey smoke, molten oil and gas tanks. For more information on the explosion, please go to: https://dark.society.systems/contribution/a-history-of-ammonia/

According to the label, this barrel contained diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate (MDI), a light yellow-colored solid. It is not soluble in water. It may be toxic by ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption; acute (short-term) inhalation of high concentrations of MDI may cause sensitization and asthma in humans. If in a solution it may or may not burn depending on the nature of the material and/or the solvent. It is used to produce polyurethane foams.
The next picture (probably of the front label) indicates that the content of the barrel is related to polyurethanes, produced by the British chemical company, Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). The barrel may be related to the toxic waste deal between the Italian mafia and the Lebanese Forces through its Italian division, Atlas Europol s.p.A. From 1982 till 1987, the chairman of the company was Sir John Harvey-Jones, a British naval commander during World War II and a naval intelligence specialist post-World War II, whose approach to the chemical business was focused on speed, more power into fewer hands, and high profit.
The barrel is rusted and has seashells growing on it, signs that it was submerged in seawater for a certain period of time.
The image was taken by Pierre Malychef in the late 1980s.

We couldn’t find more information around the sources, and whether they were related to the Italian toxic waste trade brought to Lebanon through a deal between the Italian mafia and Lebanese Forces. The image was taken by Pierre Malychef in the late 1980s.
