Bhopal Union Carbide victims still suffer
BHOPAL (PTI Sunday, January 28, 2007) Inadequate research on ill effects of methyl iso-cynate (MIC) on Bhopal gas tragedy victims seems to have proved to be a stumbling block in their treatment even as newer areas of study continue to evolve due to fresh predicaments faced by people living around the Union Carbide factory.
Tissues and foetuses have been preserved by Madhya Pradesh Medico-legal Institute for further research, but no organisation appears to be 'sensitive' towards conducting studies.
"Vital information about the effect of MIC on foetus, chromosomal
aberration and genetic fallout could be collected through studies on 25 foetuses voluntarily preserved for research after the tragedy in 1984," institute Director DK Satpathy said.
Ironically, no scientist or organisation has come forward for the
research despite request letters sent to several institutes, including
the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR), he said.
