Abstract
The Minamata disease originates from the consumption of great amounts of fish and shellfish caught in the Minamata Bay, the Kumamoto Prefecture of Kyushu, Japan (Figure 1). The water system of the Minamata Bay has been polluted by methyl mercuric sulfide (CH3HgSCH3) and methyl mercuric chloride (CH3HgCl) through waste water discharged into the Minamata River by a vinylchloride and acetaldehyde plant (Figure 2).
