Worst Industrial Accident:
The BHOPAL TRAGEDY
On the night of December 2nd, 1984, over 40 tons of lethal methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas spilled out from Union Carbide's pesticide factory in Bhopal, India. In the first three days after the accident, over 8,000 people died in Bhopal, mainly from cardiac and respiratory arrest.
20,000 people have died to date from exposure-related illnesses & 120,000 remain chronically ill.
Justice has eluded the people of Bhopal for 18 years. Union Carbide left India without cleaning up or adequately compensating survivors. In February 2001, Michigan-based Dow Chemical bought Union Carbide – and its liabilities, including the Bhopal disaster.
Dow refuses to take responsibility and clean up Bhopal, despite the fact that thousands living in vicinity of the factory continue to be exposed to toxic chemicals through groundwater and soil contamination.
The situation is urgent and Michigan residents can make a difference. Get involved!
