Blue barrel from the Italian toxic waste trade, belonging to 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.

An empty can of "Lechler 04 380 Polydur Zinc Putty", a universal knifing polyester putty of medium grain with very high filling power. Suitable to fill big imperfections on normal steel sheets and zinc coated steel sheets of car bodies and industrial vehicles. Produced by Ponte Chiasso (Como), the Italian subsidiary of the German paint company, Lechler. Ponte Chiasso gained its independence from its parent company, Lechler, in 1910. This can 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.

Silver barrels of "Alkydal F 22 tix" with a ratio of 60% Xylol (according to the label). It was produced in Germany by the German multinational and pharmaceutical company, Bayer. Alkyd resins are used in the formulation of wood and furniture coatings, parquet and floor coatings, exterior wood coatings, DIY and painter coatings as well as industrial coatings. 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.

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.

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.
