	Bhopal disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though the audible external alarm was activated to warn the residents of Bhopal, it was quickly silenced to avoid causing panic among the residents.
		The CEO of Union Carbide at that time, Warren Anderson, who retired in 1986, was declared a fugitive from justice by the Chief Judicial Magistrate of Bhopal on February 1, 1992 for failing to appear at the court hearings in a culpable homicide case in which he was named the chief defendant.
		Had compensation in Bhopal been paid at the same rate that asbestosis victims were being awarded in US courts by defendant including UCC – which mined asbestos from 1963 to 1985 – the liability would have been greater than the $10 billion the company was worth and insured for in 1984.

	A Significant Toxic Event: The Union Carbide Pesticide Plant Disaster in Bhopal, India, 1984
		Bhopal is the capital of the State of Madhya Pradesh, and lies 744 km south of New Delhi. Its population last decade was approximately one million people (Mehta et al., 1990).
		In Koplan’s (1990) commentary on Bhopal, it is noted that the information available at that time (6 years after the event), was not significantly different from that available in the first weeks after the gas leak.
		This illustrates again, the need for long-term studies to be instituted after such events, to determine their long-term health effects. The price of not doing this is the cost of not recognizing, and not treating, significant ongoing health and psychosocial problems in the exposed population.
