Methyl isocyanate.<\/p>\n<p>Methyl isocyanate (MIC) is a highly toxic gas that was used as an intermediate in the production of the insecticide Sevin at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) plant in Bhopal, India. On December 2, 1984, a leak of MIC from the plant killed an estimated 22,000 people and injured over 150,000 others.
