The company was fouded in [[Esslingen]], [[Germany]] by Dr. [[Otto Röhm]] and Mr. Otto Haas in 1907. Haas moved to Philadelphia and began the American side of the business on [[September 1]], [[1909]], from an office on Front Street, while Otto Röhm remained in Germany to run a company that would eventually become [[Evonik Industries|Röhm GmbH]]. The American company grew rapidly as [[World War I]] approached, because of their initial invention, a synthetic substitute (brand name Oropon) for fermented dog dung,

which was used for [[bating]] [[leather]] (part of the tanning process); leather was needed for the war in large quantities for belts and saddles.

The company again grew rapidly as [[World War II]] approached, as it manufactured [[Polymethyl methacrylate|Plexiglas acrylic]], a clear plastic which was needed for aircraft canopies. They sold this part of the business in 1998 to Elf Atochem (now Arkema).<ref>{{cite web

==Controversy==
Ritchie joined [[Nova (radio network)|Nova radio]] to co-host the drive show with comedian [[Akmal Saleh]], replacing [[Matthew Newton]].<ref>Mitchell, Glenn, [http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,21113603-2902,00.html "Kate Ritchie's taken over"], ''Herald Sun'', 25 January, 2007</ref> She was replaced in May by New Zealand comedian [[Cal Wilson]].<ref name = "Javes">{{cite news | last = Javes | first = Sue | title = Fourth time lucky - Radio | work = [[Sydney Morning Herald]] | date = [[August 6]] [[2007]] | accessdate=2008-08-22}}</ref>
{{POV-section|date=September 2008}}
Rohm and Haas is one of five companies undergoing a class-action lawsuit filed by residents of [[McCullom Lake]] located in [[McHenry County, Illinois]]. The plaintiffs claim these local manufacturing companies have a direct correlation to 21 out of 1,000 residents experiencing some type of brain or pituitary gland cancer. Several current and former residents have already died or experienced a relapse of their [[brain cancer]]. As early as 1980, Rohm and Haas' McCullom Lake factory has undergone investigation for contamination to the town's groundwater. Studies showed the groundwater never affected the town's well water.


Ritchie co-hosted, with [[Grant Denyer]], the second series of ''[[It Takes Two (Australian television)|It Takes Two]]''.<ref name="It takes two">[http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,23663,21615231-10388,00.html "It takes two and Kate's happy"], ''The Daily Telegraph'', April 25, 2007</ref>
Nineteen current and former McCullom Lake residents have filed the lawsuit with the help of [[Philadelphia]] attorney, Aaron Freiwald. Eighteen plaintiffs have suffered brain cancer, three have pituitary cancer and one cirrhosis of the liver. Rohm and Haas has taken an active role by hiring environmental consultants to help their cleanup efforts. They deny their factory has any correlation to the illnesses.


In September 2007, Ritchie announced that she would be leaving ''Home and Away'' in mid-December.<ref>[http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,23663,22484465-10229,00.html Kate Ritchie quits Home And Away | NEWS.com.au Entertainment<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Her final scenes were filmed on [[December 13]] [[2007]]<ref >{{cite news | date = [[December 14]] [[2007]] | title = Final scene for Kate after 20 years at Home | work = [[Daily Telegraph (Australia)|Daily Telegraph]] | accessdate = 2008-07-31}}</ref> and she last appeared on Australian screens as Sally Fletcher on [[April 3]] [[2008]]. Her [[UK]] demise with the same episode, was not long after the Australian with her departure being screened on UK terrestrial television on [[May 12]] [[2008]] <ref >{{cite news | date = [[April 3]] [[2008]] | title = Kate's summer comes to an end | work = [[The Advertiser (Adelaide)|The Advertiser]] | accessdate = 2008-07-31}}</ref>
Two years ago, Freiwald sued the company on behalf of the thousands of workers in one of their Pennsylvania research facilities when 15 people were diagnosed with brain cancer. Lawsuits are still pending.


;2008
McHenry County's local newspaper, [[Northwest Herald]], published a six-piece investigative story on the lawsuits and residents.
On [[January 14]] [[2008]], Ritchie began work on the [[Nova 96.9]] breakfast show with [[Merrick and Rosso]].<ref >{{cite news | date = [[January 15]] [[2008]] | title = New voices in on-air battle | work = [[Daily Telegraph (Australia)|Daily Telegraph]] | accessdate = 2008-07-31}}</ref>
