    The 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy in Bhopal, India was one of the worst industrial accidents in history. On the night of December 2-3, 1984, over 40 tons of toxic methyl isocyanate gas leaked from a Union Carbide pesticide plant, exposing over 500,000 people. It is estimated that between 3,000 to 10,000 people died in the initial weeks due to the leak and that thousands more have died since due to related illnesses and diseases. Investigations found that safety protocols and equipment at the plant were substandard, which led to the catastrophic leak of toxic gas and widespread impact on the local population.
