Good memory re: Bhopal, Bumjelly. I recalled that it was a cyanide release, but not that it was MIC. Scary stuff.
Excellent point, too, regarding the possibility of long-term consequences from brief exposure to certain respiratory toxins. My grandfather worked in the Brooklyn Navy Yard early in the war spraying asbestos insulation in the engine rooms of ships under construction. He came down with such a hacking cough at the time that he was sent home after three months and dismissed from further wartime service. While he recovered from the initial cough, he eventually died (43 years later) of asbestosis.
Can't be too careful…
