time.time.
Occurrence: 3rd
December 1984.
Place of occurrence: Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Company: Union Carbide Corporation.
Chemical: Methyl Isocyanate (27 tons)
Among the 500,000 people exposed to the gas, 20,000
have died till date and 120,000 continue to suffer

Bhopal ScenarioBhopal Scenario
Union CarbideCorporation
Union Carbide CorporationUnion Carbide Corporation
Started in 1969 in Bhopal
Phosgene, Monomethlyamine, Methyl
Isocyanate (MIC) and the pesticide Carbaryl,
also known as Sevin.
Taken over by DOW Chemicals in 2001.
DOW refused Union Carbide’s Liabilities in
Bhopal, India.

Effects on Human HealthEffects on Human Health
 Respiratory Disorders – Irritation to thelungs, causing coughing and/or
shortnessof breathing. Higher exposurecaused build up of fluids
(pulmonary edema). CausedAsthama.
 Cancer Hazard – Caused mutation (genetic changes). It caused cancer.
 ReproductiveHazard – Association between exposureto Methyl
Isocyanateand miscarriages. It may damagethegrowing fetus. May also
affect fertility in men and women.
 Tracesof many toxinswerefound in theBrest Milk of mothersand were
in turn transmitted to therecipient babies.

Bhopal Gas Tragedy

  • 2. PreviewPreview Amongst the worst Industrial Disasters of itsAmongst the worst Industrial Disasters of its time.time. Occurrence: 3rd December 1984. Place of occurrence: Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Company: Union Carbide Corporation. Chemical: Methyl Isocyanate (27 tons)
  • 3. Among the 500,000 people exposed to the gas, 20,000 have died till date and 120,000 continue to suffer devastating health effects as a result of their exposure.
  • 5. Union Carbide CorporationUnion Carbide Corporation Started in 1969 in Bhopal Phosgene, Monomethlyamine, Methyl Isocyanate (MIC) and the pesticide Carbaryl, also known as Sevin. Taken over by DOW Chemicals in 2001. DOW refused Union Carbide’s Liabilities in Bhopal, India.

  • 8. Effects on Human HealthEffects on Human Health  Respiratory Disorders – Irritation to thelungs, causing coughing and/or shortnessof breathing. Higher exposurecaused build up of fluids (pulmonary edema). CausedAsthama.  Cancer Hazard – Caused mutation (genetic changes). It caused cancer.  ReproductiveHazard – Association between exposureto Methyl Isocyanateand miscarriages. It may damagethegrowing fetus. May also affect fertility in men and women.  Tracesof many toxinswerefound in theBrest Milk of mothersand were in turn transmitted to therecipient babies.

Methyl IsocyanateMethyl Isocyanate Physical and Chemical CharacteristicsPhysical and Chemical Characteristics  Methyl Isocyanate (C2H3NO)  Liquid form  Volatile  Colourless  Strong, sharp odour  Flash Point – -7o C  Molecular weight: 57.05 daltons  Boiling point (760 mm Hg): 102ºF (39.1ºC)  Freezing point: -49ºF  Vapor pressure: 348 mm Hg at 68ºF (20ºC)  Vapor density: 1.42 (air = 1.00)  Water solubility: Reactive 6.7% at 68ºF (20ºC)  Flammability: Highly flammable  Flammable Range: 5.3% to 26% (concentration in air)
  • 11. Reason for CitationReason for Citation  Methyl Isocyanate is on the Hazardous Substances List and is regulated by OSHA and cited by ACGIH, DOT, EPA and others.  Is on the Special Health Hazard Substance List because it is flammable and reactive.
