title: The Bhopal Tragedy: What Really Happened and What It Means for American Workers and Communities at Risk
author: M. Arun Subramaniam
description: The authors have written an angry book: angry at the conditions that caused the disaster at Union Carbide's Bhopal plant and angry at the attitudes that may lead to future Bhopals. But they also provide very constructive ideas for dealing with the Bhopal tragedy. A fascinating chapter details a possible approach for relieving the suffering of the victims and for quantifying the personal damages. Examining the question "Can it happen here?" they conclude that it does happen here, with thousands of workers a year dying as a result of some exposure to toxic chemicals. They include a sensible outline for preventing similar incidents, and they list 60 organizations concerned with Bhopal's aftermath. Highly recommended.
