At midnight Dec 3, 1984 water entered the tank, containing 43 tonnes of methyl isocyanate (MIC). This caused an exothermic reaction. A toxic gas cloud descended upon the city. Eckerman, Ingrid: ppt presentation 2010
Dead: • Approximately 16,000 during first weeks • At least 8,000 died since • Permanent injuries: • 100,000 – 200,000 • Water & air contamination lead to • birth defects, • reproductive health problems, • liver failure, • & cancer • The water is still contaminated 520,000 people exposed Eckerman, Ingrid: ppt presentation 2010
