Extract

The events in Bhopal in December 1984 shook the world out of its sense of complacency about modern technology in general, and about the chemical industry in particular. This information was gathered from hundreds of interviews with doctors, Union Carbide officials, medical students, voluntary aid service workers and many others. There is a publication embargo on the medical establishment in Bhopal, but we need to plan in the light of their experience.
