Answers
Explanation:
It is time to retire the trite stories about clear skies and clean rivers because of the economic lockdown triggered by the coronavirus pandemic. As environment ministers and state governments make it easier for businesses to restart, the toxic gas leak at LG Polymers’ polystyrene plant in Vizag — killing 11 people and exposing 1,100 to the styrene gas — has reminded the world of the folly of viewing environmental due diligence as an impediment to economic activity.
The Vizag gas leak, its causes and the reactions of the management and state are disturbingly similar to the Bhopal gas tragedy. This shows that no good lessons have been learnt from the 1984 Union Carbide disaster. Worse, corporations and the administration continue to deploy untruths, and non-scientific and empty reassurances to underplay the incident and its systemic causes.
Explanation:
Achemical leak from the LG Polymers plant in Visakhapatnam early on 7 May killed at least 11 people, led to evacuation of about 3,000 people, forced admission of 270 people to various hospitals and triggered panic in the industrial coastal city. It was feared many others may be unconscious in their homes and the death toll could climb.
The leak was from two 5,000-tonne tanks that had lain unattended due to India’s coronavirus lockdown in place since late March and the families in the surrounding villages were asleep at the time of gas leak. This incident has proved that regulatory authorities and the government did not learn any lesson from the Bhopal gas tragedy in 1984 considered to be one of the world’s worst industrial disasters.
Around 3,500 people, mainly in shanties around the plant operated by Union Carbide, died in the days that followed and thousands more in the following years. People continue to suffer its after-effects to this day. The recent incident in Visakhapatnam has been widely criticised and reminds us of the necessity of strong enforcement of process safety management (PSM) systems in a real sense.
