BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY
A CASE STUDY
*
*In 1969, Union Carbide India Ltd. (Parent Co. UCC -
50.9% stake) set up a small plant in Bhopal, capital
city of M.P. to formulate pesticides.
*Bhopal facility was part of India’s Green Revolution
aimed to increase productivity of crops.
*Until 1979,the UCIL used to import MIC (Methyl
Isocynate) from the parent co. in U.S.
*After 1979,it decided to manufacture its own MIC.
*
*Organic ,volatile, flammable & poisonous
chemical used in pesticide production.
*Little lighter than water but twice as heavy as
air
*Ability to react with many substances: water,
acids, metals, small deposits of corrosive
materials that accumulate in pipes, tanks &
valves.
*Highly toxic to humans & short term exposure
can cause death, respiratory diseases,
ophthalmic problems, neurological disorders etc.
*
*Result: About 40 tons of MIC poured out of the tank for
nearly 2 hours & escaped into the air, spreading within 8
hours downwind over the city of nearly 9 lakh.
*Thousands of people were killed in their sleep & lakhs
remain injured or affected. Most seriously affected were
the densely populated nearby slum colonies around the
plant near the Bhopal Rly. Station.
*
*Different for Bhopal plant & West Virginia (U.S.)
plant. No computerized data loggers.
*Unreliable temp.& pressure gauges.
*No effective warning system.
*Gas leaks detected by workers reporting tearing
& burning sensation in their eyes.
*Inadequate safety & maintenance procedures.
*Several minor accidents reported earlier.
*Most technicians poorly trained & inexperienced.
*UCIL was able to operate its deteriorating plant
because industrial safety & environmental laws &
regulations were lacking making state of M.P. or the
Indian Govt. indirectly responsible for the tragedy.

UCC - 50.9% stake) set up a small plant in Bhopal, capital city of M.P. to formulate pesticides. *Bhopal facility was part of India’s Green Revolution aimed to increase productivity of crops. *Until 1979,the UCIL used to import MIC (Methyl Isocynate) from the parent co. in U.S. *After 1979,it decided to manufacture its own MIC.
  • 18. * *Organic ,volatile, flammable & poisonous chemical used in pesticide production. *Little lighter than water but twice as heavy as air *Ability to react with many substances: water, acids, metals, small deposits of corrosive materials that accumulate in pipes, tanks & valves. *Highly toxic to humans & short term exposure can cause death, respiratory diseases, ophthalmic problems, neurological disorders etc.
