Giftfasser

Deutsch > Englisch Naturwissenschaften Chemie, -technik Newspaper Article
Greetings,

Please see
http://www.zeit.de/1985/50/Tonnen-von-Gift-in-der-Tongrube?p...

Die Giftfasser, die in Münchehagen im Boden verschwanden, kamen vermutlich vom Zweigwerk der Firma Boehringer-Ingelheim in Hamburg-Moorfleet und von einem Chemieunternehmen aus Lyon. Allein die Franzosen sollen im Mai 1980 rund 180 Tonnen mit Rückständen aus der Produktion von Pflanzenschutzmitteln nach Münchehagen gebracht haben.

neutral Ulrike Kraemer : strictly speaking, the barrels themselves aren't toxic ... // the Fässer themselves aren't giftig (their content is), and the German term is "Giftfässer", not "giftige Fässer" - that's a big difference

is that supposed to be a joke? Cause if you're serious you'd need to say as well that the faesser aren't giftig

toxic waste barrels

Toxic barrels is fine, but I'd include *waste* as more specific and technically correct.
Example sentence:

Black Sea Toxic Waste Barrels Removed After 18 Years

Toxic Waste Barrels Found Buried at Dump
