Overview
Environmental quality standards and effluent standards for public water bodies (such as rivers, lakes, and coastal waters) are established under the Water Pollution Control Act, the Act on Special Measures Concerning Conservation of Lake Water Quality, and other regulations. Surveys and analyses are conducted to assess current conditions and verify compliance with these standards.
We conduct investigations and analyses covering environmental quality standards for the conservation of the living environment, including pH and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), as well as standards for the protection of human health, including mercury and cadmium. We also perform analyses of dioxins, water temperature, flow velocity, and other related parameters.
Applications
Monitoring surveys to assess annual variations in public water bodies
Impact assessments to evaluate the effects of construction and development projects
Investigations following natural disasters or abnormal incidents
Survey Items
● Environmental quality standards for the conservation of the living environment (pH, BOD, COD, etc.)
● Environmental quality standards for the protection of human health (PCB, cadmium, mercury, etc.)
● Monitoring items (chloroform, toluene, etc.)
● Eutrophication-related parameters (nitrogen, phosphorus, chlorophyll, etc.)
● Dioxins and related substances
● On-site measurements (water temperature, transparency, flow rate, etc.)
Required survey and analysis items can be selected according to the objectives of the investigation.
Survey and Analysis Process (After Your Request)
- Step 1
- Survey Planning (Site Inspection, Survey Plan, and Consultation)
We listen to your requirements, conduct a site inspection, and prepare a survey plan.
- Step 2
- Sample Collection and On-site Measurements
Samples are collected using appropriate sampling equipment and divided into containers according to each analysis item to ensure representative sampling.
We also conduct on-site measurements such as water temperature, transparency, and flow velocity.
- Step 3
- Analysis
Samples are pretreated as required and analyzed using appropriate analytical instruments.
- Step 4
- Reporting
We provide results in the format requested by the customer, ranging from certificates of analysis to summary tables and comprehensive reports.
Features
We can accommodate newly added environmental monitoring parameters.
Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) were added to Japan's environmental monitoring items for the protection of human health related to water pollution on May 28, 2020. We are fully equipped to conduct investigations and analyses for these substances.
Case Studies & Achievements
● River water quality monitoring surveys for local governments
● Baseline environmental surveys for environmental impact assessments
Important Notes
● If you are unsure which analysis items are appropriate for your objectives, please feel free to consult us.
● Some analytical items require additional time before results are available. Please contact us regarding delivery schedules.
