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.

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.

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.

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.
