First published in 1988, The Bhopal Syndrome documents one of
world's worst industrial disaster: The Bhopal gas tragedy of 1984.
The tragedy exposed a variety of issues plaguing rapid development
such as the negligence of corporations and government, prioritizing
of commercial benefits over human lives, inadequate post-disaster
rehabilitation and compensation, and frightening levels of
environmental pollution. The author argues that the Bhopal gas
tragedy is being replicated across the globe at various intensities
facilitating a dangerous normalisation. He asserts that workers and
consumers should fight for their 'right to know' about working
conditions, chemicals used in pesticides, the harm caused by
producing such chemicals, how these chemicals end up on our food as
well as the manner in which the chemicals interact in our body.
Climate crisis and undeterred industrial development still haunt
our reality making this book an essential read for any concerned
citizen and for students of disaster management, industrial
disasters, climate change, environment, toxicology and workers'
rights.
