Methyl Isocyanate

The methyl isocyanate spill
near Bhopal, India, during the night of December 2-3, 1984 was at the heart of
what is often cited as the world’s worst industrial disaster involving a
chemical release.  The exact number of people who died from this methyl
isocyanate exposure is in dispute and depends upon the information source, but
the government of Madhy Pradesh which includes Bhopal confirmed 3787 deaths initially
related to inhalation exposure.  Other estimates have been up to 10,000 deaths
within 72 hours of the release, plus another 20,000 deaths due to long term
effects.  Another 100,000 to 200,000 people have been estimated to have
permanent injuries.  All this from a spill of 42 metric tonnes (42,000 kg;
92,400 lbs) of methyl isocyanate from a very large storage tank.
