The regulations for indoor air pollution in Japan
In recent years public health problems caused by indoor air pollution, known as ‘Sick Building Syndrome in housing’, or ‘Sick House Syndrome’ in Japan, have been drawing strong public concern. After conducting extensive exposure assessment, government authorities have taken effective measures to solve the problem. However, as a result of diversification and increase in quantities of industrial chemicals, existing regulations do not cover enough r…
Particulate matter air pollution control programs in Japan — an analysis of health risks in the absence of future remediation
The objective of this case study was to assess potential health risks and productivity loss in the absence of future additional environmental control of particulate matter (PM) in Japan. Assuming a 10% decline in PM, the estimates of the numbers of possible cases of premature mortality and morbidity that could be prevented in the year 2010 were (1) 8700 long term deaths, (2) 12,000 cases of chronic bronchitis, (3) 24,000 cases of cardiovascular d…
Particulate matter air pollution control programs in Japan — an analysis of cost savings in the absence of future remediation
The objectives of this study were to assess avoided economic costs (or anticipated ‘benefits’) of not implementing new environmental policies for particulate matter (PM) in Japan and compare these future benefits to estimates of future health risks developed in a separate analysis. The estimates for the benefits of avoided PM pollution control in the year 2010 were (1) $27 billion USD for stationary source controls, (2) $2.1 billion to $3.3 billi…
Cost Analysis of Particulate Matter Control Programs – A Case Study of Tokyo
The objectives of this case study were to assess economic costs of existing environmental policies of particulate matter (PM) in Tokyo and compare the costs to estimates of benefits developed previously. The purchasing power parity-adjusted one year estimates for the costs of PM pollution control and prevention were: (1) $720 million (USD) for stationary source controls, (2) a range of $690 million to $1.1 billion for diesel motor vehicle control…
