What happened in minamata?
Minamata, Japan was the site of one of the worst mercury pollution disasters in history. The Chisso Corporation's chemical factory dumped their methylmercury wastewater into the Minamata Bay. The mercury, through the process of bioaccumulation, ended up in the top fish species, which the Minamata population ate for food. This resulted in thousands suffering from acute mercury poisoning. While many went through neurological breakdown, for years, neither the government nor the company did anything about it. Reparations and cleanup are still an ongoing process, several decades later.
