The disease first came to prominence in the 1950s. It was officially identified in 1956 and attributed to factory effluent but the government took no action to stop contamination or prohibit fish consumption. Chisso knew it was discharging methylmercury and could have known that it was the likely active factor but it chose not to collaborate and actively hindered research. The government concur...

the commercial profile of the amoco cd mgcl2 supported polypropylene catalyst is presented. the development, the unique method of preparation/production, with emphasis on particle morphology, and the parameters affecting particle size (ps), particle size distribution (psd), and particle shape are discussed in detail. the outstanding performance of the catalyst, tailoredmade for the amoco-chisso...

Minamata disease (MD), a methylmercury poisoning from fish and shellfish contaminated by Chisso Company waste discharge, was found in 1956. Small input neurons of the cerebral cortex in the fourth layer including somatic, visual, auditory, tasting, and olfactory areas are destroyed in MD. Several ten thousand people were suffered from MD in the polluted area. But socio-economical environment, d...
