UN-EARTH-GREENPEACE-CHLOORKOP

Greenpeace activists blockade 29 August 2002 the entrance to the Chloorkop factory 25 kilometres (15 miles) north of Johannesburg center, preventing trucks carrying chemicals from entering. The activists blocked the chlorine factory as an Earth Summit protest, saying it belonged to the firm that owned the deadly plant in Bhopal, India, and was pumping pollutants into poor South Africans' water supplies. An estimated 3,500 to 7,500 people were killed and more than half a million seriously injured when toxic gas leaked from a chemical factory in Bhopal owned by the US company Union Carbide on the night of December 3, 1984.
