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.

Blue gallon containing residual products from chemical industries as indicated by their label that also reads in Spanish "M.L.S.A. via Puerto Cabello", a town in Venezuela. 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.

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.

A barrel of what appears to be like polyester resin, produced in Italy by SIRIC, a company whose main activity was the production of unsaturated polyester resins, about 12,000 tons per year, used for fiberglass boats, fiberglass products and artificial marble. The factory has been closed since the 1980s, but investigations and reclamation continued due to the spilling of dangerous materials into the ground and the subsequent discovery of underground deposit of poisonous waste on February 14, 1992. This barrel 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.

Image taken by Pierre Malychef of a group of barrels from the ca. 15,800 barrels carrying the toxic waste trade. Some of the worn barrels contained Dicofol, a highly toxic pesticide whose production and use are banned internationally under the Stockholm Convention. Dicofol is a nerve poison that can also lead to skin and eye toxic reactions in humans and endamage the fertility of several birds, reptiles, aquatic invertebrates and algae. Since Dicofol can be stored in fatty tissues, intense activity or starvation may re-catalyze the chemical, resulting in the reappearance of toxic symptoms long after actual exposure.

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.
