25 years after a Union Carbide plant leaked toxic chemicals into the air killing at least 10,000 and affecting the health of half a million others, there has been little progress in cleaning up the site and the toxic waste continues to contaminate water supplies. The Union Carbide factory that spewed 40 tons of deadly methyl isocyanate into the air in the dead of night on December 2 1981, the factory is deserted and run down - its windows broken and its metal structures rusted. The disinfectant lining the roads and the freshly cleared vegetation are the only signs of the government's plans to throw open the factory to the public that were shelved by a court ruling. visit ebrunews.com for more info & news...
