Will Nicholls, Project Director of Beyond Bhopal, explains the issues surrounding the preconditions of a technical assessment live on Al Jazeera International News after the European Union’s Subcommittee on Human rights and the German Government’s International Development Agency GTZ offer a Technical Assess under the Beyond Bhopal process.
Most critically, a detailed site assessment as that offered by the EU would provide a more complete overview of the hydrogeology and the mobility of the identified toxic contaminants, and would thus inform the best tailor-made remediation approach for the Union Carbide site, its surrounds and local groundwater aquifers.
The Beyond Bhopal Group is a coalition of independent experts, including professionals working in environmental remediation, toxicology, public health, human rights and environmental and international law.
