Hello All,
Let's overlook oral intake of formic acid for a minute and consider the
fumes.

I may be way off base and maybe should not even do the post as I am only
going from memory. Please correct me if my memory is off or the chemical
used in the movie was not formic acid.

Sorry but  I can not  remember the name of the movie based on a true story.

In the movie  the largest class action lawsuit in the U.S. at the time was
over health problems of workers taning leather with liquid formic acid ( I
believe from memory). The health problems were from breathing the fumes and
the company illegally dumping the formic acid water in a nearby creek.

Bob going out on a limb here. Am I way off  base or do others remember the
movie/story?

Bob
