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.

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.
