More than 15000 died that day. 2607:FEA8:621:3F00:2D54:1ED7:1DC3:558F (talk) 02:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

The article contains the following:
  • Lead: "Others estimate that 8,000 died within two weeks, and another 8,000 or more have since died from gas-related diseases.[6]"
  • Infobox: "over 16,000 claimed[2]"
  • Long-term effects: "The Sambhavna clinic "estimates 8,000 deaths during the first weeks, and another 8,000 since then".[2][6]"
It looks as though what you want doing has already been done, with citations provided for the statements.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:18, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Reference cleanup

Someone should cleanup the references here. Many of the works cited are in the Further reading section, and referred to with Harvard citations in the footnotes. At a minimum, these citations should be wrapped in a {{harv}} template. Tito Omburo (talk) 00:03, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Higher Concentrations of heavy metals in groundwater has been reported in several locations close to the defunct factory of Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) ,39 years after Bhopal Gas Tragedy. The Central Ground Water Authority has submitted the report to the National Green Tribunal.From 1969 to 1984 hundreds of tonnes of toxic waste was dumped in their factory premises. The manganese waste is more than the permissible limit of 0.3 /mg/L. 8.33% of the locations(three out of 36) which were associated with deeper aquifers, recorded manganese concentration. Notably, BIS does not regulate Strontium concentrations. The report mentioned that strontium concentrations ranged from 0.198 to 2.223 mg/Lwith an average of 0.833mg/L.
