Step 1. The Bhopal Gas Tragedy (1984) involved an explosion at the Union Carbide pesticide plant that released a cloud of toxic methyl isocyanate (CH₃NCO) gas.
Step 2. Because the gas was twice as heavy as air, it formed a blanket over the surrounding area and was inhaled, attacking people's lungs and breathing -- i.e. it polluted the air people breathed, not water, soil or a nuclear source.
✓Final answer
(b) air pollution -- a toxic gas cloud released into the atmosphere.
