The Bhopal Disaster On December 3, 1984, a U.S. multinational corporation, Union Carbide Corporation, had a serious gas leak in a pesticide factory in Bhopal, the capital of India’s Madhya Pradesh, bringing huge disasters to local residents. . On the night of December 2, the pressure of a gas storage tank in the pesticide plant rose sharply. The 45 tons of highly toxic liquid isocyanate contained in the tank was used as a raw material for the manufacture of pesticides such as carbaryl and aldicarb. At 0:56 on the 3rd, the valve of the gas tank failed and the highly toxic chemicals in the tank leaked out and quickly spread outward in the form of gas. There was no wind that evening, and the sky was filled with heavy fog, causing the poisonous gas to diffuse slowly and spreading death.
