उत्तर
In Japan, pollution by heavy metal, cadmium, caused the disease called Itai-itai.
Explanation:
Itai-itai disease was caused by the ingestion of cadmium-contaminated water and rice. It led to severe pain in the bones and joints, along with kidney damage and fractures, hence the name “Itai-itai,” which translates to “ouch-ouch” in Japanese due to the intense pain experienced by the victims.
