据《新科学家》杂志报道,印度博帕尔灾难之后,经过8年时间,联合碳化物公司的9名官员最终将在犯罪指控之下面临审判。由于1984年12月,来自联合碳化物工厂的有毒的甲荃异氰酸脂气体弥漫全城,它的长期作用,使得直至今日每星期大约还有5名受害者陆续死亡。目前,虽然有少数因丧失亲人而提出赔偿的家庭得到了安置,但还有几十万人的赔偿要求被束之高阁、无人问津。 According to a report in the New Scientist magazine, after eight years of the Bhopal disaster in India, nine UCC officials will eventually face trial under criminal charges. Since December 1984, the poisonous hyperthyroidism isocyanate gas from the Union Carbide Factory permeated the entire city, and its long-term role has caused the death of about five victims each week until today. At present, despite the fact that a small number of families who have paid compensation for the loss of their loved ones have been resettled, hundreds of thousands of compensation claims have been left unattended.
