When a new technology makes people ill, how high does the body count have to be before protectives steps are taken? This disturbing book tells a dark story of hazardous manufacturing, poisonous materials, environmental abuses, political machinations, and economics trumping safety concerns. It explores the century-long history of “fake silk” or cellulose viscose, used to produce such products as rayon textiles and tires, cellophane, and everyday kitchen sponges. The book uncovers the grim history of a product that crippled and even served a death sentence to many industry workers while also releasing toxic carbon disulfide into the environment. Viscose, an innovative and lucrative product first introduced in the early twentieth century, quickly became a multinational corporate enterprise. The book investigates the viscose rayon industry's practices from the beginning through two highly profitable world wars, the midcentury export of hazardous manufacturing to developing countries, and the current “greenwashing” of viscose rayon as an eco-friendly product. This book brings to light an industrial hazard whose egregious history ranks with those of asbestos, lead, and mercury.

Long Time

This chapter discusses the continued production of viscose rayon, suggesting that it may not disappear from our everyday lives anytime soon despite the emergence of new knowledge about the toxicity of carbon disulfide. Viscose was a pacesetter at the start of the twentieth century, the first major synthetic-fiber success story. Even as rayon went offline in much of Europe and North America in the last decades of the twentieth century, carbon disulfide is still very much a part of an ongoing and indeed expanding viscose-manufacturing industry. Indeed, carbon disulfide has made another comeback, not through pharmaceuticals but via agribusiness. Both viscose rayon and cellophane have retained a symbolic presence in society. Viscose remain very much in existence, thanks to technological innovation and savvy green marketing. Today rayon is marketed as an eco-friendly, nearly green product. As Halston aptly expressed in an advertisement made for ITT Rayonier, Inc., “Rayon. It's going to be with us a long, long time”.

The Subject

This chapter examines various incidents attesting to the toxic health effects of artificial silk production on workers employed in factories. The British Annual Report of the Chief Inspector of Factories and Workshops, published in 1925, was the first to capture carbon disulfide poisoning as a reportable disease. Fifteen cases of carbon disulfide toxicity were identified in that year. In that same year, La Medicina del Lavoro published a very brief notice of a British report on carbon disulfide exposure under the heading “Cause of poisoning in the artificial silk industry.” While the Italians were amassing important new information on the health risks of viscose rayon, a representative committee of U.S. textile manufacturers voted to discard “glos” and adopt “rayon” as the commercial term of choice for artificial silk. In 1931 the Statesman and Nation published a report by Sir Thomas Legge, “An Industrial Danger,” devoted to the subject of the artificial silk industry.
