D-22 | Shanti

Shanti worked in an hospital the night of December 3, 1984. "When I arrived at the house, my 2 sons were unconscious. Dilip, the youngest, died later of tuberculosis at 22 years, undoubtedly contracted because of exposure to the gaz".

Tuberculosis seems to reach the 2 generations of victims:

• the insufficient respiratory ones, weakened because their lungs were touched by gas in 1984
• inhabitants in the neighbourhoods of the factory, drinking daily contaminated water. Pesticides express carcinogenic, mutagen, but also immunotoxic properties: they disturb the operation of the immune system, which weaken the people face to diseases like tuberculosis. The pesticides act even with very low dose, especially if daily exposure is repeated since years and years.
