Coal ash is known to contain dangerous elements including arsenic, lead, and selenium, yet the TVA refused at first to issue any health warnings about contamination from the spill.

Amazing, isn’t it? // Crimes Against Earth The Ever-Lasting Indian Chemical Spill More than 40 tons of methyl isocyanate spilled from a Union Carbide-owned pesticide factory in Bhopal, India, in 1984, killing more than 20,000 people in the world’s worst chemical disaster. After the spill, these skulls were researched at the nearby Hamidia Hospital, presumably for the specific effects the gas had on the brain. The chemical injured not only the people who inhaled it, but also nearby animals (at least 2,000 of them) and trees, whose leaves went yellow and fell off within days. Twenty five years later, with people still claiming injury from the disaster and little corrective action having been taken, the government of India has called for a study into the long-term effects of the spill. »
