LD CARBIDE 2 LAST

"As per a 1999-study by Greenpeace, over 20 per cent of
the factory site was contaminated and mercury level at one
sample location was 60 lakh times more than normal," Dhingra
said.

Besides, the study also found high levels of lead,
nickel, copper, chromium, chlorobenzene and sevin in soil
samples taken from the factory site, Dhingra said.
She said eminent scientist and founder Director of the
Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Dr P Bhargava had
warned that Union Carbide site is completely unsafe and even
we cannot put our foot on the ground.
Dhingra said the Madhya Pradesh High Court in its order
on October 29, 2005 had said the factory premises should be
appropriately guarded by deputing armed guards so that no
outsider enters there.
She said the court had also directed that since toxic
materials were stored in the factory premises, it cannot be
used for garden, park or laboratory. PTI AS
