Answer 1

Methyl Isocyanate (MIC)

Explanation:

The Bhopal gas tragedy, which happened on the night of December 2-3, 1984, at the Union Carbide pesticide plant, was caused by an inadvertent leak of highly poisonous Methyl Isocyanate (MIC) gas. This lethal gas spread quickly over the surrounding neighbourhoods, killing thousands of people immediately, causing serious respiratory damage, and wreaking havoc on their long-term health.
