MANAGEMENT
The final death toll was estimated to be between 15,000 and 20,000. Some half a
million survivors suffered respiratory problems, eye irritation or blindness, and
other maladies resulting from exposure to the toxic gas; many were awarded
compensation of a few hundred dollars. Investigations later established that
substandard operating and safety procedures at the understaffed plant had led to
the tragedy. In 1998 the former factory site was turned over to the state of
Madhya Pradesh.
Minamata disease
• It started with the town cats. In the mid-1950s, the people of Minamata, Japan
began to notice their cats were going crazy and falling into the sea. Some people
thought the cats were committing suicide. Soon after, a strange illness appeared to
be going around town.
•The people of Minamata reported numbness in their limbs and lips. Some had
difficulty hearing or seeing. Others developed shaking (shakes) in their arms and
legs, difficulty walking, and even brain damage. And, like the cats, some people
seemed to be going crazy, shouting uncontrollably. Something was affecting their
nervous system.
•Finally, in July 1959, researchers from Kumamoto University discovered the source
of the illness –– high levels of mercury poisoning –– which they then named
Minamata disease.
•A large petrochemical plant in Minamata, run by Chisso Corporation, was
suspected immediately. Chisso denied the allegations and continued its
manufacturing without changing its method of production. Chisso continued to deny
its involvement or that its mercury waste was causing any illness. (It was later
discovered that Chisso Corporation had dumped an estimated 27 tons of mercury
compounds into Minamata Bay.)
•Mercury dumping continued, poisoned women gave birth to poisoned babies. These
children were born with severe deformities including gnarled limbs, mental
retardation, deafness, and blindness.
•Chisso finally quit poisoning Minimata's waters in 1968. According to the Japanese
government, 2,955 people contracted Minamata disease and 1,784 people have
since died. Researchers believe, however, that the criteria the government uses to
diagnose Minamata disease is too strict, and that anyone showing any level of
sensory impairment should be considered a victim. To date, Chisso has financially
compensated over 10,000 people and continues to be involved in suits regarding the
matter.
