Controls on industrial wastes in Japan are lacking. In the port of Fuji, 380 pulp and paper factories are spewing untreated wastes and sludge at such a rate that not only are the fish dying off but the harbor continuously must be dredged...
There was a festive air about the 155 passengers as they boarded All Nippon Airways' Flight 58 at Chitose Airport.

Tokyoites lament that soaring Fuji-san, obscured by deadly clouds of sulfur dioxide, shows its face only one day out of every...
