Shortly after the gas release, Union Carbide launched an aggressive effort to identify the cause. An initial investigation by Union Carbide experts showed that a large volume of water had apparently been introduced into the methylisocyanate (MIC) tank. This caused a chemical reaction that forced the pressure release valve to open and allowed the gas to leak. A committee of experts working on behalf of the Indian government conducted its own investigation and reached the same conclusion. See similar questions...

Odds are you won't have a natural gas leak in your home; but if you do, your nose will let you know.

Adding the odorant is one of the precautions we take to make natural gas the safest energy you can use. See similar questions...

If a gas is escaping or an electrical line is penetrated, the excavator is required to notify emergency personnel, notify the operator, and take reasonable steps to minimize hazards to persons and property until either the operator's personnel or emergency first responders arrive on scene. Examples of reasonable steps would be to keep traffic clear of the area where the damage occurred or to evacuate the public in the area. See similar questions...

Exposure of the patient's or caregiver's skin to any leaked medication from a DURAGESIC patch may cause nausea, sedation, drowsiness, or potentially life-threatening complications. If the medication leaks from the patch, patients can get either too little or too much medication: If medication leaks from the patch, there is no longer adequate medicine in the patch, and this can lead to withdrawal symptoms and inadequate pain relief.

Some women find that (on their heaviest days) it can leak somewhat, if it becomes full and is not emptied soon enough. See similar questions...

Investigations suggest that only an employee with the appropriate skills and knowledge of the site could have tampered with the tank. An independent investigation by the engineering consulting firm Arthur D. Little determined that the water could only have been introduced into the tank deliberately, since process safety systems -- in place and operational -- would have prevented water from entering the tank by accident.
