BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY
(2-3 DEC 1984)
Which took the lives of 20,000 people
INTRODUCTION:

 It is worst industrial catastrophe in India
 UCIL(subsidiary of UCC) was built in 1969 to
  produce a pesticide Sevin
 MIC(intermediate compound) production
  plant was added in 1979
 It happened During the night of 2 -3 dec
  1984 when water entered into a tanker
  containing 42 tons of MIC
PLANT PRODUCTION PROCESS:




 Methylamine (1) reacts with phosgene (2) producing methyl
 isocyanate (3) which reacts with 1-naphthol (4) to yield
 carbaryl (5)
CAUSES:
According to one theory:
 Water leaked into tank from valves while
  workers were cleaning the clogged pipe which is
  400 feet above it
According to theory of UCC:
 Water was directly introduced into tank
  intentionally by a worker via a missing pressure
  gauge
 It resulted in exothermic reaction and finally to a
  explosion
FACTORS LEADING TO MAGNITUDE OF GAS
LEAKING:

 Storing MIC in large tanks and filling beyond
  recommended levels
 Failure of several safety systems (due to
  poor maintenance)
 Safety systems being switched off to save
  money—including the MIC tank refrigeration
  system which could have mitigated the
  disaster severity
OTHER FACTORS:

 Use of a more dangerous pesticide
  manufacturing method for decreasing
  generation cost
 Plant location close to a densely populated area

Plant management deficiencies like :
 lack of skilled operators,

 reduction of safety management.

 insufficient maintenance and

 inadequate emergency action plans.
CONTRIBUTION OF NEGLIGENCE :

 UCIL didn’t maintained safety rules
• A pipe leaked? Don't replace it

• MIC workers needed more training? They
  could do with less.
• The MIC tank alarms had not worked for four
  years.
CONTRIBUTION OF NEGLIGENCE :


   The flare tower and the vent gas scrubber had been
    out of service for five months before the disaster.

   To reduce energy costs, the refrigeration system was
    idle. The MIC was kept at 20 degrees Celsius, not the
    4.5 degrees advised by the manual.

   The steam boiler, intended to clean the pipes, was
    out of action for unknown reasons.
CONTRIBUTION OF NEGLIGENCE :
   Carbon steel valves were used at the
    factory, even though they corrode when
    exposed to acid.

   According to the operators the MIC tank
    pressure gauge had been malfunctioning for
    roughly a week

   UCC admitted in their own investigation report
    that most of the safety systems were not
    functioning on the night of December 3, 1984.
UCIL plant after disaster
EFFECTS:

   Estimated that Total deaths are about 20000 upto 20
    years after disaster

   It is estimated 100,000 to 200,000 people have
    permanent injuries.

   Reported symptoms are eye problems , respiratory
    difficulties, immune and neurological
    disorders, cardiac failure secondary to lung
    injury, birth defects among children born to affected
    women.
DEAD BODIES OF VICTIMS OF THAT MASSACRE
POSTMORTEM REPORTS:


            Early autopsy findings.
            A. Gross picture of lung shows
            typical cherry red discoloration;

            b. Low power photomicrograph
            showing marked congestion and epithelial
            denudation of trachea;

            c.Photomicrograph of lung parenchyma
            showing marked congestion and
            thickening of alveolar septa
SUPPORT OF INDIAN GOVT TO CULPRITS:

 Indian government closed plant to outsiders
  and failed in making the data public
 The Council of Scientific and Industrial
  Research (CSIR) were forbidden to publish
  their data on health effects until after 1994
 The Indian Government and UCC deny
  permanent injuries were caused by MIC
 UCIL paid a token of $470 million even
  though asked a total compensation of
  $3.3billion.But the govt said nothing
 The govt sent safely Mr. Anderson the CEO
  of UCIL at the time of massacre, to US
 Civil and criminal cases are still pending in
  United States District Court, Manhattan and
  the District Court of Bhopal, India, involving
  UCC, UCIL employees, and Warren
  Anderson
CONCLUSION:

 There are several other Industries till now
  working only for their profit, leaving the safety
  of people in it and around it in waters
 The govt should take necessary steps to
  control these industries so that no other
  disaster occurs
