I will introduce the causes and measures of water pollution, which has a significant impact on life and the environment. During Japan's period of rapid economic growth, pollution-related diseases caused by environmental pollution continue to cast a dark shadow over victims, residents of affected areas, and the environment. Among pollution-related diseases, the four major pollution diseases are Minamata disease, the second Minamata disease, Yokkaichi asthma, and Itai-itai disease, with the latter three being caused by water pollution, excluding Yokkaichi asthma. **Minamata Disease** This pollution-related disease occurred in Minamata Bay, Kumamoto Prefecture. It resulted in serious health damage due to the consumption of fish contaminated with organic mercury discharged from factories. It is also referred to as the origin of pollution. **Second Minamata Disease** This pollution-related disease occurred in the Agano River basin in Niigata Prefecture. It resulted in serious health damage due to the consumption of fish contaminated with organic mercury discharged from factories. **Itai-itai Disease** This pollution-related disease occurred in the Jintsu River basin in Toyama Prefecture. It resulted in serious health damage due to the consumption of rice grown in water contaminated with cadmium discharged from mines. This time, I would like to focus on water pollution, which has a significant impact on life and the environment.
