That's a bull shit story......you can't keep that a secret in a plant like IBM's...they are very careful about it to the point of being a pain in the ass to the workers.....that authors writings make clear he was not technically competent. You note witness names and names of chemicals were not given....I knew the purchasing agent who bought the hundreds of tons of activated charcoal used as filter......all underground tanks were ripped up a secured on the surface and all piping was overhead. I had experience with dumping unwanted chemicals in my first job with Philco....we dumped silicon tetrachloride into a lagoon..when it hit the water it produced a cloud of HCl.....alternatively we dumped it right onto the ground and in addition to the HCl it produced it soaked right into the ground producing SiO2 clumps (very inert). In today's world there are lots more strange chemicals used in chip manufacturing (usually in gaseous form) that are monitored but I don't know how carefully or how toxic they may be....certainly none are healthy. Class I clean rooms protect the workers (who wear bunny suits) as well as keeping the chips contamination and particle free.
