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.

Toxic Waste
Two cans of paint and coating, produced by the Italian chemical company, Industrie Vernici Italiane ("Italian Paint Industry") stylized as I.V.I, that specialized in the production of paints. Starting 1983, I.V.I, then-majoritarily owned by Fiat, was gradually sold to the American multinational company, PPG Industries Inc. The selling of the entire shares was effectuated in 1992. Following a lawsuit filed by American environmental organizations, Penn Environment and Sierra Club, in 2012, PPG Industries, Inc. was found liable in 2018 for decades of pollutants discharge in the Allegheny River. Read more on: https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/usa-court-finds-paint-manufacturer-ppg-liable-for-pollution-posing-risk-to-health-environment-in-lawsuit-over-chemicals-spill/.
These cans ended up on Lebanese territories due the toxic waste deal between the Italian Mafia and the Lebanese Forces. The author of this image is unspecified.

According to the label, the content of this 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 previous picture (probably of the back label) indicates that this barrel contains 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 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.

Image taken by Dr. Pierre Malychef documenting the 1989 Dora Port Explosion and its aftermaths on March 30th 1989. The photograph shows workers in a destitute hangar with a pressure-torn room post-explosion. Similarly to Hangar 12, the hangar is filled with white sacks, akin to the ammonium nitrate sacks we all became familiar with in the last 3 years.
