在日本，一些严重的公共卫生危机涉及环境污染、食源性疾病和药品（即，“Yakugai”）发生在过去50年。在文献综述的基础上，总结了前期的调查和后续的措施。出现了一些共同点：（1）查明原因的时间过长，（2）查明原因后缺乏对策，（3）歧视受害者，他们助长了损害的扩大。我们认为，缺乏企业道德和不合时宜的信息披露是日本危机管理系统的主要问题。在所有的情况下，信息收集的缺陷是共同的，因此，我们建议采取必要的纠正措施，如建立一个新的健康危害相关信息的报告系统。
In Japan, a number of serious public health crises involving environmental pollution, food-borne diseases, and health hazards due to pharmaceuticals (i.e., "Yakugai") have occurred in the past 50 years. Based on the literature, we summarize the initial investigations and the subsequent measures. Some common points emerge: (1) prolonged cause identification, (2) lack of countermeasures after the cause was identified, and (3) discrimination against victims and they contributed to spreading the damage. We identify lack of corporate ethics and ill-timed disclosure of information as the principal problems in Japan's crisis-management systems. Defects in information gathering were common to all of the cases, thus we suggest necessary corrective measures, such as the establishment of a new reporting system for health hazard-related information.
