National Pollution Prevention Day is observed every year on December 2 in India to honour the memory of the thousands of people who lost their lives in the 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy. The disaster occurred due to the leakage of the toxic chemical Methyl Isocyanate (MIC) from a pesticide plant, making it one of the world’s most devastating industrial pollution incidents. This observance serves as a reminder of the need for strict safety regulations, responsible industrial practices, and heightened public awareness to prevent such tragedies in the future.
