During the night of December 2-3, 1984, a storage tank containing methyl isocyanate (MIC) at the Union Carbide pesticide plant leaked gas into the densely populated city of Bhopal, India. Killing an estimated 3,000 to 6,000 people, the Bhopal Gas Leak was one of the worst industrial accidents in history. Cutting Costs. Union Carbide India, Ltd. built a pesticide plant in Bhopal, India in the late 1970s in an effort to produce pesticides locally to help increase production on local farms. 1  However, sales of pesticide didn't materialize in the numbers hoped for and the plant was soon losing money.
Lemons and Limes. One of the interesting facts is that lemons and limes are alkaline forming. Although they are acid by nature, in the body they are alkaline forming because of their mineral content. This makes them ideal for salads and other meal items when you need an acid taste component.
Other Fruits. Bananas, sour cherries, apricots and peaches are alkaline fruits. These fruits help to remove hydrogen ions from your body, making the foods alkalizing. Tomatoes, avocados, currants and pears are also nonacidic fruits.Many vegetables are alkalizing. Red cabbage, spinach, cayenne pepper, zucchini and fresh cucumbers are nonacidic foods that can help to balance low pH levels.emons taste acidic, but the fruit yields an alkalizing effect after being digested. As your body assimilates the citrus fruit, the end product carries an alkaline pH level. Limes, oranges and grapefruit are other nonacidic citrus fruits which are high on the pH scale after being digested.
