"Where there is discrimination
pollution disasters are born."
--- #MasazumiHarada

Where there is discrimination,
there will be pollution disasters.

Pollution damage occurs
where there is discrimination.

Damage to the commons starts
where discrimation is strongest.

> In 1962, it was found that methyl mercury causes unborn children’s poisoning via the placenta. It is called congenital Minamata Disease.. . All its patients are such that another member or other members of their family had also suffered from #MinamataDisease and their mothers ate much fishes and shellfishes during pregnancy. The site and timing (1952-1963) of #CongenitalMinamataDisease agreed with those of #AcquiredMinamataDisease.

> Dr. #HaradaMasazumi.. an expert on the Minamata disease, writes, “The #MinamataDisease is the first occurrence of widespread methylmercury.. poisoning caused by man-made environmental pollution that the world has ever experienced.”... Many of the symptoms of mercury poisoning are similar to those seen in cerebral palsy. #Methylmercury damage is irreversible. To deal with their conditions, the patients I discuss had to be creative about how they lived.
