jan 1, 1946 - The first isolated incident of chemical
poisoning from Ichor Falls' timber
operation is documented
Description:
"The first isolated case of illness caused by chemical exposure was recorded in 1946, but their origins reached back to the late 1920s. A secondary compound in the wood sealant, 1-phenyl-2-4 tricarbethyloxinate-5 (patented under the name Ethlyor), was designed to carry the sealant compounds in suspension, penetrate the treated wood, then break down into methyl and isopropyl alcohols and evaporate harmlessly once applied. Unfortunately, researchers later discovered only a partial evaporation in most samples of wood. Ethylor only fully broke down into harmless alcohol after three decades."
