The document discusses the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy in India, one of the worst industrial disasters in history. On December 3, 1984, over 40 tons of toxic methyl isocyanate gas leaked from a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, killing thousands and injuring hundreds of thousands. The gas exposure caused respiratory issues, cancer, and reproductive harm. While the Indian government and people initially supported the plant, there was little safety regulation and failures in equipment and safety systems led to the disaster. Union Carbide was found responsible for lapses in safety. The situation in Bhopal remains unresolved with environmental contamination and health issues continuing today.
The document summarizes the 1984 Bhopal disaster in India. A leak of methyl isocyanate gas from a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal killed over 8,000 people immediately and severely affected around 200,000 people total through exposure. To this day, the site has not been fully remediated and continues to leak toxic chemicals, impacting the people of Bhopal.
This document presents information about biofuels. It discusses various biofuel feedstocks like corn, sugarcane, and algae. It classifies common biofuels as bioethanol, biodiesel, and biogas. Bioethanol is produced through fermentation of carbohydrate sources and is used as an automotive fuel. Biogas is produced through anaerobic digestion of organic waste and used for cooking and lighting. While biofuels are renewable and reduce pollution, their production also faces challenges related to cost, land use, and food supplies.

When it comes to the bio-based product market, are we climbing the slope of enlightenment or stuck in the trough of disillusionment? It’s now nearly 20 years since polylactic acid entered the market as a promising new commodity plastic, so what’s changed and is the industry developing as quickly as expected?
Bio-based products compete in a world dominated by fossil derived chemicals and materials. These fossil derived incumbents have the market advantage of proven technology and mature value chains, only through long-term innovation can bio-based products hope to build a significant market share.
However, too often innovation is considered solely in the context of technical development. A far more complicated series of actions is required to transform an inventions or scientific discovery into a product or process which provides value, in other words, something innovative.
A key requirement for successful innovation is the legitimacy of the activity. Without legitimacy, policy and funding support is likely to remain poor and market demand will fail to materialise.
In this presentation we’ll look at the current bio-based product market and ask if its proponents are doing enough to convince stakeholders of its legitimacy.
The Bhopal gas tragedy was the world's worst industrial disaster that occurred on December 2-3, 1984 in Bhopal, India. A leak of methyl isocyanate and other chemicals from a pesticide plant owned by Union Carbide India Limited exposed over 500,000 people, resulting in thousands of deaths and injuries. The toxic gases caused many deaths from choking, circulatory collapse and pulmonary edema. While the official death toll was around 3,000, other estimates indicate over 20,000 deaths from the disaster. The leak had severe health, environmental and economic impacts on Bhopal. There were many issues with the response and compensation provided to the victims in the decades following the tragedy.
Biomass is a renewable source of energy derived from organic matter such as waste wood, agricultural crops, and municipal solid waste. It can be burned to produce heat and electricity, with wood being the largest biomass energy source. In California, over 60 million tons of biomass sources like agricultural waste, dead trees, and livestock manure could generate enough electricity for about 2 million homes each year. While biomass power generation reduces landfill waste, it is generally more expensive than other energy sources.
12 million tons of recycled waste from UK households and businesses is illegally dumped or unknowingly wasted every year, much of it exported to foreign landfill sites. The export of rubbish, mainly to Asia via Europe, has doubled over the past decade as councils look to cut costs. The UK government has found that illegally exported waste includes household recycling, used tires sent to China, and electronic waste dumped in landfills in West Africa. In response, the government will tighten inspections at ports and require councils to improve recycling quality and audit waste management processes to curb this illegal and environmentally harmful practice.

yıldır ölümler devam etmekte olup ,
kazanın sebep olduğu kronik hastalıklarla
yaşayan birçok insan mevcut.
Gazdan yarım milyon insan ve fazlasının
etkilendiği düşünülüyor.
10. OLASI NEDENLER
• Bu durumun oluşmasında 2 teori öne
sürüldü;
1- Suyun tankerin içine işçilerin temizliği
esnasında 400 adım yukarıdaki tıkalı
delikten girmiş olduğu ,
2- UCC firmasının öne sürdüğü ise,
suyun tankın içine bir işçi tarafından kasti
konulduğu idi. SABOTAJ ( ! )
11. GAZ SIZINTISINA SEBEP OLAN
FAKTÖRLER
