Minamata is a Japanese city that had a significant environmental crisis in the mid-20th century as a result of mercury pollution. A chemical business dumped methylmercury-containing industrial wastewater into Minamata Bay, infecting fish, and shellfish that were then ingested by the surrounding populace. This resulted in widespread mercury poisoning, dubbed "Minamata Disease," which caused severe neurological symptoms, abnormalities, and even death.
