How do you respond to assertions that Union Carbide would not share all its toxicological information on methylisocyanate (MIC) after the tragedy due to propriety concerns?
Those allegations are ludicrous and could not be further from the truth. Union Carbide immediately accepted moral responsibility for the tragedy and gave all toxicity information on the chemicals involved in the manufacture of MIC to the Government of India immediately following the incident. Additionally, the government seized plant records after the tragedy and these also would have included all such information on MIC. On the day of the tragedy, Union Carbide dispatched a team of technical MIC experts, who carried MIC studies that were shared with medical and scientific personnel in Bhopal. UC experts provided all published and unpublished studies available at that time on MIC toxicity.
