The first three sections of the book, based on close textual examination of the original sources, contain separate treatments of each writer.

Synopsis: The story of the poisoning of the people of Minamata told in photographs and text by W Eugenie and Aileen M Smith. In 1932 the production of acetaldehyde began in Minamata: a process using mercury as a catalyst. In April 1956, the first of the town's inhabitants admitted to hospital with severe brain damage were diagnosed as suffering from a disease of the central nervous system, possibly caused by eating fish poisoned by acetaldehyde waste discharged into the sea. In March 1973 the Chisso Corporation accepted responsibility for poisoning an estimated 10,000 inhabitants of Minamata. This volume records events in words and photographs.
