After more than 3 decades the poisoning of Bhopal still goes on
LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DISASTER
It’s nearly 37 years since Union Carbide’s gas and pesticide factory exploded. The company was taken over by Dow Inc but they still haven’t cleared up.
Toxic water from the site spreads further year by year.
Soon after midnight on December 3rd 1984, a highly toxic gas leaked from a Union Carbide pesticide factory in Northern Bhopal.
Locals fled their homes, choked, blinded. By the following day the streets were lined with corpses.
The Bhopal disaster shocked the world. But more than three decades on, the catastrophe continues. Thousands of survivors still suffer the after-effects of gas poisoning. The damage has been passed on in to their children through cancers and malformations.
And the gas leak was not the only source. For years even before the catastrophic gas leak, toxic waste had been dumped on the site and in nearby solar evaporation ponds, poisoning the water supply.
