Summary
| Description |
English: Exterior view of the Union Carbide pesticide factory in Bhopal, India, scene of the world's worst industrial disaster in 1985.
Interior shot of the factory before it was stripped of some of its most valuable components and subsequently abandoned to the elements. The factory remains ruined and abandoned and approximately 350 metric tonnes of toxic waste are stored there above ground. Many thousands of tonnes of toxic waste were also buried, in an untreated state, on the site. Rainwater continues to run through this buried waste as well as the remains of the abandoned solar evaporation ponds. This leaches toxic chemicals into the local groundwater aquifer, which serves as the primary water supply for thousands of people. |
