The Minamata Bay incident

The bay bay event, also known as a water disease, is the largest and most tragic case of historically recorded industrial pollution. In the late 1950s, the Japanese authorities of the chemical plant of Chisso Corporation did not consider the effect of methyl mercury dumping into the ocean by the formation of acetaldehyde. As a result, water infected with methylmercury is absorbed by marine organisms and causes serious food poisoning when consumed by Japanese including severe neurological disorders (Yorifuji et al., 2008), in some cases it will die.

Have you heard of bay bay water disasters? This incident occurred in Japan in the 1950s and 1960s. When making a long story easy, the local company dumped a large amount of mercury into the Bay of Water. It was consumed by the fish that people eat. A woman who eats fish is pregnant. According to the FDA, infants born from these women suffer from nervous system disorders such as hearing loss, blindness, mental retardation, cerebral palsy. Even today, pregnant women should avoid or eat a limited amount of fish to prevent mercury poisoning.

At the same time as Wuhu, the water in the bay is poisoned. Until people realize that about 4,000 victims have something in common, after eating the fish caught in the bay bay they all "discover" the "sickness of the water pond" did. After years of testing and flaws in protests from Chisso's acetaldehyde production process in Japan, it was determined that the same company dumped a large amount of mercury into the bay caused a lot of pain and death.

Jellyfish is caused by severe mercury poisoning, which attacks the nervous system. In 1956, industrial wastewater containing methyl mercury of Chisso was released into the Bay of Bay and the Shillanui Sea, and the death of 2,265 people was thought to be a direct result of this contamination. In July 1976, an explosion occurred at a chemical manufacturing plant in northern Milan, Italy, tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) was released into the atmosphere and adversely affected the neighboring Sevillo town. Shortly thereafter, 3,300 animals died to prevent the spread of pollutants into the food chain, more animals were laid. Children hospitalized with dermatitis, about 500 people found skin lesions
