Ocurrió en la noche del 2 hasta 3 diciembre 1984 en la Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) deplaguicidas en la planta de Bhopal , Madhya Pradesh , India. UCIL was the Indian subsidiary of Union Carbide Corporation (UCC). UCIL era la filial india de Union Carbide Corporation. A leak of methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas and other chemicals from the plant resulted in the exposure of several thousands of people. Una fuga de isocianato de metilo (MIC) de gas y otros productos químicos de la planta diocomo resultado la exposición de varios miles de personas Estimates vary on the death toll..
Durante la noche del 2 a 3 dic 1984, grandes cantidades de agua entró tanque 610, que contiene 42 toneladas de isocianato de metilo. The resulting exothermic reaction increased the temperature inside the tank to over 200 °C (392 °F), raising the pressure. El resultado de la reacción exotérmica aumento de latemperatura dentro del tanque para más de 200 ° C (392 ° F), aumentando la presión. This forced the emergency venting through a valve from the MIC holding tank, releasing a large volume of toxic gases into the atmosphere. Esto obligó a la ventilación de emergencia a través de una válvula del tanque de retención MIC, liberando una gran cantidad de gases tóxicos a la atmósfera. The gases were blownby south-westerly winds over the old city of Bhopal, causing great panic as people woke up with a burning sensation in their lungs.

Otras agencias gubernamentales estiman 15.000 muertes. Otros estiman que 8.000 murieron en las primeras semanas y que otros 8.000 han muerto desde entonces por enfermedades relacionadas con el gas. The government's classification was criticized after the deaths of people who were classed as having minor injuries. [ 5 ]La clasificación del gobierno fuecriticada después de la muerte de personas que fueron clasificadas como lesiones menores.
Chemicals (~390 tons) abandoned at the plant continue to leak and pollute the groundwater . [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Whether the chemicals pose a health hazard is disputed. [ 2 ] Sustancias y Preparados Químicos (390 toneladas) que abandonó la planta siguió filtrándose y contaminando el agua subterránea .
Overtwo decades since the tragedy, certain civil and criminal cases remain pending in the United States District Court, Manhattan and the District Court of Bhopal, India, against Union Carbide with an Indian arrest warrant also pending against Warren Anderson , CEO of Union Carbide at the time of the disaster. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Greenpeace asserts that as the Union Carbide CEO, Anderson knew about a 1982...
