Photo Credits: MIC (methyl isocyanate) is a volatile, colorless liquid that is extremely flammable, and potentially explosive when mixed with air. The release of a cloud of MIC gas caused the Bhopal disaster in 1984, killing close to 3,800 people who lived near the Union Carbide India Limited plant in Bhopal, India. Later UCIL transformed itself into Dow Chemical.

Photo Credits: At least 3,000 people are thought to have died in the first 24 hours alone – and thousands more from the after-effects, making it the world’s worst industrial disaster. Thousands more people went on to develop fatal lung diseases and others have been left with lifelong disabilities.
