Abstract
Bhopal gas tragedy of 3rd December 1984 occurred due to the sudden leak of methyl-isocynate . After decades of the exposure, severe illness, lung ailments, eye problems, stomach ailments still continue to haunt the lives of survivors of the tragedy. Most affected organs after the exposure include eyes, respiratory tract, and skin. Substantial neurological, reproductive, neurobehavioral, psychological effects, immunotoxicity and genotoxicity were also observed. Scientific debates about the causes of the accident, the spectrum of health effects and their toxicology are presented with a view of understanding the toxic substances released in the gas cloud and their roles in the causation of health effects. Using cutting edge technologies studies on ocular, respiratory, reproductive, psychological, genetic, and immunological aspects must be continued if we have to understand the harshness of long-term effects associated with this tragedy. The authors recommend long-term monitoring of the affected area and use of appropriate methods of investigation that include well-designed cohort studies, case-control studies for rare condition, characterization of personal exposure and accident analysis to determine the possible elements of the gas cloud.
