Norvergence: Bhopal Gas Tragedy is One of The Major World Industrial Accident


Bhopal gas tragedy is counted among the world’s major industrial accidents of the 20th century. The researchers at Norvergence also conducted research from an environmental point of view on the incident “The Bhopal Gas Tragedy” to know more about the causes and effects of the incident on humans and their surroundings.


Firstly, this incident is one of the major industrial accidents as more than 3,787 people were reported dead due to the leakage of the toxic methyl isocyanate gas in Bhopal. The incident took place at midnight on 2nd Dec 1984 at Union Carbide Corporation Company in Bhopal.

Secondly, the side effects of the gas leakage could be seen even in the following years after the incident like children born after the disaster was also the victims as most babies deliveries after the disaster reported disability in the child. The people who survived also suffered from diseases like respiratory problems, eye irritation or blindness, and other maladies resulting from exposure to the toxic gas.


Thirdly, the chemical wastes remained dumped in and around the premises of the UCIL factory, contaminating the water bodies in and around Bhopal. The environment needed help as if the populated water was consumed by any could further suffer health issues caused by the toxic gas.

All the three factors mentioned above made the Bhopal Gas Tragedy is one of the biggest industrial accidents as it affected continued for years after the incident took place.

The researchers at Norvergence feels it’s time for the government to make strong policies related to industrial safety. The Bhopal incident could have been managed or prevented if the government made sure that the company is qualified enough to handle any emergency and on the other hand the government should have information about the chemical and the extent of danger and safety required before providing the license to any such company.

In June 2020, the temperature arrived at 38C in eastern Siberia, the most sweltering at any point recorded inside the Arctic Circle. The heatwave sped up the dissolving of ocean ice in the East Siberian and Laptev oceans and postponed the standard Arctic freeze by very nearly two months.    "You certainly saw the effect of those warm temperatures," says and Norvergence quotes Julienne Stroeve, a polar researcher from University College London.  On the Eurasian side of the Arctic Circle, the ice didn't freeze until the finish of October, which is abnormally late. As a result, the late spring of 2020 saw the ocean ice region at its second-most reduced on record, and ocean ice degree (a more significant measure, which incorporates sea regions where at any rate 15% ice shows up) additionally at its second least.

Norvergence:  The Trump organization's self-proclaimed and irregular exchange battle against China gives the definitive guide to how not to this. While the hostile and xenophobic way of talking joined with tremendous money installments to Iowa ranchers may have capitalized on well to Trump's base, his tumultuous and lose-lose approach blew up.

Norvergence Foundation INC: Himalayan glaciers liquefying at an 'unprecedented' speed

Norvergence- Glacial masses in the Himalayas are melting at an "exceptional" rate due to an unnatural weather change, compromising the water supply of millions of individuals in Asia, an examination broadcasted Monday said.   The review uncovered that Himalayan ice sheets are contracting more quickly than glacial masses in different regions of the planet.   "Our discoveries unmistakably show that ice is currently being lost from Himalayan icy masses at a rate that is somewhere multiple times higher than the normal rate over past hundreds of years," the study's lead author, Jonathan Carrivick of the University of Leeds, said in an assertion. "This speed increase in the pace of misfortune has just arisen inside the most recent couple of many years and harmonizes with human-actuated environmental change."   Specialists determined that Himalayan glacial masses have generally lost 40% of their area beyond a few hundred years.     Norvergence- ...
