内容紹介
チッソが廃液を水俣湾に流しはじめた1932年以前に、中毒症は広く知られていた。
小社刊『メチル水銀を水俣湾に流す』の増補英訳版。
A decision had to be made, “Should we begin to discharge the acetaldehyde wastewater into the Minamata bay or not?”
On the 7th of May 1932, the indiscriminate slaughter started in silence.
The author shows that the horrible symptoms of methylmercury poisoning have been well known to the general public, at least in Europe, since the 19th century, and he also points out that the dangers in the production using organic mercury has been common knowledge among professionals in the manufacturing field, long before the 7th of May 1932, when the Nihon Chisso Minamata Plant began to discharge effluents containing organic mercury into Minamata Bay, Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan.
This book is the enlarged English edition of the Japanese edition entitled Mechiru-suigin wo Minamata-wan ni nagasu（Discharging Methylmercury into Minamata Bay）, 2008.
