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.

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.

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.
