The subject of today’s podcast is the Union Carbide gas leak in 1984 that affected more than half a million people in Bhopal India, and the lingering effects that are still being felt today.  As usual, you can download the podcast at the link above (Click Podcast RSS on the upper right hand side of the page), download the podcast by clicking here, or listen to the podcast below.

Additionally, these are the sources that I used.

• The Wikipedia entry for The Bhopal Disaster (A good overview, but never take Wikipedia as 100% accurate).
• The Environmental Journal: The Bhopal disaster and its aftermath; a review
• Mother Nature Network: India finalizes deal to dispose of waste from Bhopal disaster
• The Bhopal Medical Appeal – including a spot for donations at http://www.bhopal.org/donate/
