  • The Bhopal disaster—night of December 3, 1984—was the worst industrial disaster in the history of the world: the leakage of 40 tons of methyl isocianate (MIC) recorded at the plant that Union Carbide India, Limited (UCIL) had in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, one of the poorest and most overpopulated states in India. There were 6,903 dead, approximately 20,000 injured, and almost another 850,000 seriously affected in different ways. [Source: Encyclopedia of Business Ethics and Society; Bhopal]
