Reporters know that readers probably will not understand the water and phosgene and methyl isocyanate reactions covered in the Bhopal story. The story gets summed up as an unnatural disaster and pesticides become only a party to the larger issues of worker training, safety regulations, corporate responsibility, and so on.

Dimethyl and diethyl sulfate are available in a vahety of containers from 0.5-kg glass botdes to tank cars. Diethyl sulfate is somewhat less toxic than dimethyl sulfate and is considered noncorrosive, but dimethyl sulfate is classified as a corrosive Hquid and ICC regulations must be observed. Mild steel to 306 stainless steel is used for large-volume storage. Dimethyl sulfate is manufactured by E. I. du Pont de Nemours Co., Inc., and diethyl sulfate by Union Carbide Corporation. Other producers are Rhc ne-Poulenc and Hoechst-Celanese. 

Despite the attractions of economic forces driving environmental protection, some cautions and failures have been noted. Firstly, the export of hazardous waste to countries where costs for treatment are lower enhances environmental risks during transport and has the potential for transboundary export in the event of pollution. At the same time, the loss of raw material may deprive the home market of an adequate supply of feedstock for the home-based industry. Secondly, there is considerable scepticism that self-regulation of TBT-based antifoulants could be achieved in a timely manner by the shipping industry. This is an instance where the cost benehts to one industry are born by another commercial sector, notably aquaculture. Thus, protection of the marine environment is likely to be aided by economic factors but the role of government, via taxation and standard setting, is not likely to be usurped. Public education and, in turn, pressure, can promote and support corporate environmentalism.

Each of these criteria represents a level at which injuries can occur. In addition, some other criteria may be appropriate, for example where existing hazard calculations are in use, corporate policy defines different standards, or local regulation sets criteria. 

Management is ultimately responsible for defining the objectives of any activity. In the fields of PSM and ESH, top management might, for example, define the corporate objective as to be recognized as the leader in PSM and ESH performance in our industry or to be in compliance with all pertinent regulations and industry standards. ...

Regulation of medicines in Zimbabwe started in 1969, with the promulgation of the Dmgs and Allied Substances Control Act, Chapter 320. This Act created the Dmgs Control Council (a body corporate), which started operations in 1971. The 1997 amendment transformed the Dmgs and Allied Substances Control Act into the Medicines and Allied Substances Control Act (MASCA), Chapter 15 03, which established the Medicines Control Agency of Zimbabwe (MCAZ), with increased authority.
