Event 5 Toxic Chemical Leak—Methyl isocyanate (MIC). Union Carbide Corporation, Bhopal, India (December 3, 1984). 3,000-7,000 people killed immediately 20,000 cumulative deaths 200,000-500,000 injured post-traumatic stress continued medical consequences (Lees 1996). 

Ethicon, Inc., (Somerville, NJ) vendors Dermabond Topical Skin Adhesive for closing surface or skin type wounds. This material is not intended for internal use. Closure Medical Corporation manufactures the actual adhesive. Ethicon, Inc. is a Johnson Johnson company. Dermabond is chemically 2-octylcyanoacrylate and it cures on contact with water, ethanol and others (i.e., addition polymerization and catalysis by weak bases). For internal tissues, the excessive moisture can overcure cyanoacrylate by saturating its surface with moisture, cause disbondment from the substrate, and render it useless as an adhesive. The cured polymer possesses a hard and brittle consistency. 

Numerous private laboratories offer biomonitoring services to individual clients. It is difficult to estimate their exact number, but a small sampling of laboratory services has revealed the following. Hundreds of laboratories offer laboratory tests to determine the presence of chemicals in various matrices (blood, urine, and hair). Clients include medical and occupational-health professionals and clinics, academic researchers, attorneys, corporations, and individuals interested in determining personal exposures.
