Today is the 39th anniversary of the Bhopal gas tragedy - the worst industrial disaster in history. Dow Chemical's refusal to clean up the site means that it is still poisoning residents today. I hosted an event with Action for Bhopal calling on Dow to address this catastrophe.

13/6 - UCSD study published A study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego found that men who were in utero during the Bhopal Gas Disaster were more likely to have a disability affecting their employment 15 years later.

It also found a 27-fold higher risk of cancer for those remaining in the same residence, and lower educational attainment over 30 years later. The study suggests that the disaster negatively impacted children born up to 100 km from the factory.

The study used data from published results of the official National Family Health Survey (NFHS) and National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) of 1991.

Survivors’ organizations hailed the study, published in a prestigious journal, for highlighting the intergenerational, long-term, high social costs of the disaster and vindicating their claims that its health impact was far greater than official agencies had acknowledged.
