The river was polluted with cadmium due to mining at the Kamioka mines (神岡鉱山 Kamioka Kōzan) and caused the itai-itai disease outbreak in downstream towns that began shortly before World War II.
River Communities
The river passes through or forms the boundary of the following communities:
gollark: <@237328509234708481> Are you planning to readd that CCTweaks feature allowing turtles to use any tool via a tool manipulator or whatever?
gollark: Can *your* OS do that?
gollark: By multiplying two smallish prime numbers (inaccessible to the user except via the debug API, if it was available in potatOS (it's not, fully)) to make a bigger *semi*prime it's possible to make a problem easy to generate but relatively hard to solve.
gollark: It's actually very fast.
gollark: ```lualocal function isprime(n) for i = 2, math.sqrt(n) do if n % i == 0 then return false end end return trueend local function findprime(from) local i = from while true do if isprime(i) then return i end i = i + 1 endend```
