W arsaw Caves, Ontario, 1972—the scene of my first foray into the underworld and my first use of a carbide lamp. Carbide lamps run on acetylene gas, and one way to make acetylene is to put water in contact with calcium carbide. I was the only one at the place who had one of these contraptions. My dad and brother used battery-powered flashlights.

Calcium carbide is a grayish-white powder that is used by welders to generate acetylene gas which is burned to produce high energy light (Lavoie, 1980). Calcium carbide waste is a by-product of an acetylene gas production process (Makaratal et al., 2010). The waste may contain Cu, Pb, Fe, Mn, Ni and Zn ions (Ibrahim, 2002).
