Back in the day, 1,1,1 Trichloroethane was used as a degreaser in various industries, even for cleaning printed circuit boards. Great stuff when used carefully...gone now because of the chlorine content.
A lot of what we now know as hazardous materials were used freely back in the day....chlorine-based stuff, asbestos, etc.
