The\u00a0Minamata Convention on Mercury<\/a>, an international treaty designed to protect human health from the impacts of mercury and mercury compound emissions, just entered into force this past August 16. Though the history of the Convention negotiations\u00a0dates back only to 2002<\/a>, it was named after a small fishing village in Kumamoto Prefecture, near the southwestern tip of Japan, which, in the 1950s was ground zero for establishing that methylmercury caused devastating health effects.<\/p>\n

The atrocity of Minamata disease began silently in the 1930s, when the predecessor of Chisso Corporation\u00a0began producing acetaldehyde and acetic acid<\/a>\u00a0and dumping mercury-based pollutants into Minamata Bay. It continued doing so until the late 1960s. What became known as Minamata disease was astounding in its cruelty. Its victims lost control over muscles and speech, and suffered from intellectual development losses, strabismus, blindness, convulsions, limb deformities, and a bevy of neurological disorders. Some children were born with the disease, as methylmercury has the lamentable quality of breaching the placenta, unlike many chemicals, and focusing its effects on the fetus, rather than the mother. Others were attacked later in life.<\/p>\n

The telltale hands of the most severely affected Minamata disease patients, curled forward in a tight muscle contraction against which fingers seem to be constantly rebelling became the icon of the mysterious disease, which was traced to mercury early on. The victims had to wait until 1968, however, for the Japanese government to finally\u00a0recognize<\/a>\u00a0that Minamata disease was caused by methylmercury dumped into the bay by Chisso. This was only the beginning of a decades-long struggle for regulation, reparations, resources, information, accountability, and\u00a0even identification<\/a>\u00a0as a victim of the disease. A struggle that continued even\u00a0as late as 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 1971, Eugene Smith\u2019s iconic picture\u00a0Tomoko Uemura in Her Bath<\/a>\u00a0turned the plight of the victims of Minamata disease from a national scandal into a global alarm bell. Tomoko\u2019s parents chose to expose the suffering of their child to make the world see what toxic pollution had done (and in 2001, withdrawing the picture from additional distribution, they\u00a0chose to let her rest<\/a>). Tomoko\u2019s picture sparked outrage, action and, more importantly, empathy for the human costs of pollution.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, unsafe practices with mercury have always spread much faster than information about its health effects. For example, in 1971, the same year as Smith\u2019s iconic photo was published, Alcal\u00eds de Colombia began discharging effluents with mercury compounds into the Bay of Cartagena. Only in 1977 did the\u00a0government order the plant shuttered<\/a>. But mercury had sedimented into the bottom of the bay and its impacts are\u00a0still felt today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the Canadian rural community of Grassy Narrows, a paper mill that dumped mercury into the waterways was shut down in the 1970s,\u00a0but the effects of its brazen pollution persist<\/a>\u00a0even today. In the United States,\u00a0Dow Chemical plants dumped 200 pounds of mercury a day<\/a>\u00a0in the 1970s. As national alarms were raised, there was a lot of arm waving and\u00a0not much action<\/a>, for lack of information and lack of clarity about legal responsibility. Today, mercury levels are\u00a0unexplainably rising in the Great Lakes<\/a>\u00a0once more. \u00a0In the Baltic Sea,\u00a023,000 barrels of mercury were discovered in 2006, off the coast of Sweden<\/a>, the remnants of a not too distant era when chemical dumping into international waters was done without a second thought. These are not isolated incidents; they are simply especially stark.<\/p>\n

The Minamata Convention, having entered into force a full 85 years since Chisso Corporation began to pollute Minamata Bay, is a belated but welcome instrument to confront the dangers of mercury systematically. It calls for placing strict controls of the supply and trade of mercury and mercury-added products (Arts 3 and 4), creating an inventory of all points where releases of mercury or mercury compounds exist and providing information on environmentally sound practices (Art. 9), reducing or eliminating the use of mercury in small scale gold mining (Art. 7), and strengthening research and training regarding health hazards of mercury (Arts. 16(c) and (16(d)).<\/p>\n

There should be some optimism at the fact that Minamata has entered into force, but let\u2019s remember that\u00a0only 74 countries<\/a>\u00a0have ratified it. Let\u2019s also recall that after entry into force comes the hard work of implementation. Consider the difficulties for implementation of mercury safety measures in Colombia: while the country has\u00a0not yet ratified<\/a>\u00a0the Minamata Convention, it has sent strong signals of its commitment to ending mercury pollution. It created a\u00a0register<\/a>\u00a0of authorized mercury purveyors and passed norms to\u00a0address the pollution<\/a>\u00a0caused by illegal and artisanal mining (now the leading sources of mercury pollution in the country). It supports\u00a0research into the health costs of mercury use<\/a>, and passed an ambitious\u00a02013 Mercury Law<\/a>, which contemplates eliminating the industrial and productive use of mercury within ten years. Despite these norms and commitments, however, Colombia climbed from\u00a0third<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0second worst mercury polluter<\/a>\u00a0in the world, second only to China. Over\u00a0200 tons of mercury<\/a>\u00a0continue to be discharged in its waters each year, and the deaths by mercury poisoning\u00a0pile on<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like Colombia, Indonesia has paid a\u00a0high cost<\/a>\u00a0for the use of mercury in informal mining, and its President recently\u00a0called<\/a>\u00a0for an end to the use of mercury in mining. The questions, for Indonesia, for Colombia, and for mercury pollution\u00a0across the globe<\/a>, are: what can we do to bring norms in line with implementation, and how soon we can we do it?<\/p>\n

The best allies and advocates for Minamata disease victims were those who approached their work with deep empathy for the human impact of toxic pollution, from\u00a0artists<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0scientists<\/a>. We can learn a lesson from this commitment to the people who were exposed to the effects of mercury, and demand that implementation be measured not in terms of laws passed or commitments made, but in terms of the health and living conditions of those most vulnerable to toxic mercury impacts, including victims who may not yet know that the ravages of mercury have already detonated in their bodies.<\/p>\n
