Aftermath of the leakage

•   Medical staff were unprepared for the thousands of casualties.[1][2]
•   Doctors and hospitals were not informed of proper treatment methods for MIC gas inhalation. They were told to simply give cough medicine and eye drops to their patients.[1][2]
•   The gases immediately caused visible damage to the trees. Within a few days, all the leaves fell off.[1][2]
•   2,000 bloated animal carcasses had to be disposed.[1][2]
•   "Operation Faith": On December 16, the tanks 611 and 619 were emptied of the remaining MIC. This led to a second mass evacuation from Bhopal.[1][2]
•   Complaints of a lack of information or misinformation were widespread. The Bhopal plant medical doctor did not have proper information about the properties of the gases. An Indian Government spokesman said that "Carbide is more interested in getting information from us than in helping our relief work."[1][2]
•   As of 2008, UCC had not released information about the possible composition of the cloud.[1][2]
•   Formal statements were issued that air, water, vegetation and foodstuffs were safe within the city. At the same time, people were informed that poultry was unaffected, but were warned not to consume fish.[1][2]
