In 1984, in Bhopal (India), there was the largest and most tragic industrial disaster in history. In the Union Carbide plant, one of the tanks containing dioxins exploded and consequently, 40 tons of extremely toxic methyl isocyanate were released into the atmosphere. Approximately 3 thousand people died as a result of the disaster and another 15 thousand as a result of the post-disaster complications.
