Summary of the Pollution Control Agreement
Pollution Control Agreement
The city concluded an agreement on environmental pollution control with major companies in Kawasaki City in 1970
37 companies (39 factories) J Sulfur oxide (SO2) emission per factory is 10 Nｍ3/h or more
Target Companies In 1972, the city exchanged memorandums on environmental pollution control with major companies in Kawasaki City
8 companies (8 factories) J Sulfur oxide (SO2) emission per factory is 5 Nｍ3/h - 10 Nｍ3/h○Emissions from factories with agreements and memorandums account for 95% of the total emissions from factories and workplaces in Kawasaki City
○Cooperate with the air pollution control measures in Kawasaki City
○Response to air pollution emergency… Operations to be controlled when sulfur oxide reaches a high concentration
Agreed Matters○Report the amount of fuel used and result of the measurement of emission gas concentration to Kawasaki City
(1) Installation of a device for the continuous measurement of emission gas and regular reporting via telemeter (dedicated telephone line)(2) Implementation of reduction measures
Implemented Policies -Making of high quality fuels (low-sulfur heavy oil, gasification, etc.)-Installation of flue-gas treatment facilities (dust collectors, desulfurization and denitrification equipment, etc.)-Improvement of the manufacturing processes

Introduction of the Total Volume Control
SummaryCharacteristics

Related Measures

The fundamentals of the Kawasaki City Pollution Control Ordinance are the reduction of pollutant (sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides) emissions.
Therefore the Total Volume Control Method―controlling the total volume of pollutant emissions per factory―was introduced for the first time in Japan.
The law regulated the concentration at the outlet per smoke generating facility (PPM regulation) and later introduced the total volume control in thedi thet d required levels of environmental achievement (health protection and conservation of living environment)(1) Set(2) Set the Total Allowable Emission per district to achieve the goal and set the emission standards for factories
