Bhopal gas Tragedy caused air and water pollution.
The Bhopal gas tragedy was the worst industrial tragedy in the history of India. It happened in 1984, when Union Carbide, the United States company's factory that produced pesticides at Bhopal, started leaking poisonous gas from its plant. The disaster caused air, water, and soil contamination, affecting all the people living in Bhopal. Many died or became disabled. Many children born after the incident were born with mental or physical deformities. Even today, people face issues related to these problems. Many samples and surveys show the presence of contaminants, pesticides, and heavy metals in water. The people of Bhopal are still waiting for justice.
