A can of knifing polyester putty (as the label indicates in Italian), 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
