The movie/ Documentary is on Netflix and it's title is "Toxic Town" One of the bottom lines for me was that Scottish working class men and women put our local workforce to shame. The other standout was how barefaced and unashamedly managers and owners of the steel works lied and denied almost everything. Finally yes there were torn loyalties to the company and to some of their own families.
Eveyone agreed that steelmaking is a dirty but necessary business. After that however the company would not concede even the most obvious facts. They smugly chose at every opportunity to ignore the mounting health damages and to arrogantly believe that they had the right of life and death over their fellow citizens and employees if that was required to benefit the company. Children were born disabled, deformed and some never made it through infancy.
Some of the chemicals and heavy metals involved are similar to Uniroyal Chemical such as dioxins and PAHs but there were also cadmium and chromium. The dust was spread all over the town despite senior management knowingly full well how toxic it was.
This Lanxess is why you and your filthy ilk can not earn back the trust of knowledgeable citizens around the world.
