| Summary, etc. |
"Silently after nightfall, an uncontrolled chemical reaction began in a vessel holding thousands of pounds of toxic substances. Gas pressure began to build, opening a safety device designed to protect the vessel from bursting. However, the chemical plant lacked equipment to contain the release, and a cloud of unidentified gases began wafting through nearby neighborhoods. By the time sleepy residents realized what was happening, many had been exposed....These were the actual events of April 12, 2004, in the Northwest Georgia community of Dalton. But to those of us who study chemical-process safety, there are eerie similarities to the events of Dec. 3, 1984, in Bhopal, India, where an uncontrolled release of 90,000 pounds of methyl isocyanate gas from a US-owned chemical plant immediately killed several thousand residents--and ultimately thousands more--and shocked the world." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) The author concludes "that 20 years after the Bhopal tragedy...serious safety problems still exist among some US operations that store, use, or produce chemicals" despite the "significant regulatory changes and other improvements" that have been made to prevent chemical accidents. |
