The Minamata Bay Incident, also known as Minamata Disease, was the largest and most tragic case of industrial pollution recorded in recorded history. In the late 1950s, the consequences of the discharge of methylmercury into the ocean resulting from the formation of acetaldehyde were not taken into account by the Japanese authorities of the then chemical factory Chisso Corporation. As a result, methylmercury-infected water was absorbed by marine life and caused severe food poisoning when consumed by Japanese, ranging from severe neurological diseases (Yorifuji et al., 2008), speech disorders, and in some cases, death . The severity of the disease took its toll on thousands of innocent civilians, and as a form of compensation, officials responsible for the epidemic offered compensation to grief-stricken families who had fallen victim to the horrendous disease. The epidemic began again in 1965, this time in the Agano River basin in Niigata, causing the same symptoms as the previous epidemic, but this time the number of civilians affected was significantly reduced. It was recently reported in March 2001 that the official death toll from the disease was 1,785 and the Chisso Corporation compensated $86 million to families affected by the disease. In May 2006, a memorial ceremony was held to mark 50 years since the discovery and leaving behind of Minamata disease. The consequences of Minamata Disease had taken a toll on the Japanese people, claiming many lives and making some of its victims permanently. disabled. This is highlighted in the article entitled “Minamata Disease” written by K. Murata and M. Sakamoto, published in the “Reference Module in Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences, 2013”. The... center of the document... along Minamata Bay, where all kinds of terrifying cases have been exposed, such as neurological diseases, coma, and in some cases, death. Based on the cases discussed above by various authors, it is evident that the most tragic industrial pollution, Minamata Bay, carries with it a dark story in history, which has claimed many innocent lives where methylmercury manifested itself in various forms, making it an environmental tragedy. Due to the ignorance and negligence of the officials responsible for the dumping of methylmercury, symptoms such as impaired vision, loss of motor skills and mental retardation have been shown to people with very little history of the disease. The prevalence of this epidemic could have been curbed by the Japanese authorities, but the failure to detect the poisoning at an early stage allowed the disease to manifest itself to both the Japanese people and the ecosystem..
