Abstract: Abstract While the Japanese economy enjoyed unprecedentedly high growth in the late 1960s, Japan’s natural environment deteriorated rapidly. Many Japanese factories dumped effluent containing harmful pollutants into rivers and oceans and emitted other pollutants into the air. The air pollution was worsened by car exhaust. The health problems caused by all this pollution became a serious problem in Japan.
