In Southern  Japan,  in 1968  a large  number  of people  suffered  by disfigurement  of skin, discolouration, fatigue, numbness, respiratory distress, vomiting and loss of hair. –    10,000 people got affected & some died –    Two groups of 121 people each were tested and results were as follows: •     It was found that fried food using rice oil produced by Kanemi company was eaten which caused the problem •     After 7 months of investigation…. –     It was found that the presence of Polychlorinated biphenyl-PCB was the cause for the effects and it was present in the rice oil. –     Rice  Oil  was  heated  at  low  pressure  to  remove  the  odour  thro’  a  heat exchanger and a liquid known as KANECHLOR  which contained  PCB was used for heat transfer –     Pipes  of the  heat  exchanger  was  corroded  and  led  to  leakage  thro’  those pinholes. –     In fact,  Kanemi  had  been  replenishing  27  kgs of lost  PCB  per month  for sometime without realizing the seriousness. •     Indirect path – this rice was used as chicken-feed and half of one million chickens that were fed died.

•    The temperature effect of the CO2 and water vapour combined together has a long range impact on the global climate. •    Because  of increased  concentration  of CO2  and due to much warmer  tropical oceans, there may occur cyclones and hurricanes and early snow melt in mountains will cause more floods during monsoon. •  Increase in global temperature can adversely effect the world food production. •  At higher altitudes in the atmosphere, CO2 undergoes photochemical reactions producing CO, which is drastically dangerous. •    CFCs are responsible  for 20% increase in warming. This may increase the chances of diseases in humans and animals.
