List of voluntary measurement results based on the Law Concerning Special Measures against Dioxins

Last updated on August 9, 2024.

Based on the provisions of Article 28, Paragraphs 1 to 3 of the Act on Special Measures against Dioxins (hereinafter referred to as the “Law”), businesses that set up specific facilities are subject to exhaust gas, discharged water, and dust from specific facilities. Dioxin concentrations contained in incineration ash and other cinders are voluntarily measured at least once a year after the enforcement of the law (January 15, 2000000000000000000000000000000000000000), and reported to the law), and the law), and the law), and reported to the law (hereinafter referred to the law (January cinders), and the results to the law (hereinafter referred to the law (hereinafter referred to as the law), and the law (January 15), and the
We will inform you that we have compiled the voluntary measurement results reported by the company.

Word	Commentary
Dioxins	Dioxins are polychlorinated dibenzo-para-dioxin (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) including coplanar polychlorinated biphenyl (coplanar PCB).
pg (picogram)	In a unit representing mass, 1pg refers to 1/1 trillion grams.
ng (nanogram)	A unit that represents mass, 1ng refers to 1/1 billion grams.
TEQ (2,3,7,8-TeCDD toxicity equivalent: 2,3.7.8-TeCDD Toxicity Equivalency Quantity)	Since the toxicity of dioxins varies depending on the type, it is to be converted to the intensity of toxicity of the most toxic dibenzoparadioxin of 2,3,7,8-dibenzo paradioxin, and to indicate that it is a conversion value. It is displayed with the symbol "TEQ" (Te e queue).

[Reference] Article 28 of the Law Concerning Special Measures for Dioxins (Measured by Installer)

Article 28 The installer of an air standard application facility or a water quality standard application business establishment shall, at least once a year, determine the number of times specified by a Cabinet Order, and shall be discharged from the air standard application facility in the air standard application facility. In the case of emission and water quality standard application establishments, the status of contamination by dioxins must be measured for the effluent discharged from the water quality standard application establishment.
(2) When measuring set forth in the preceding paragraph for a specific facility that is a waste incinerator, at the same time, dust, incinerated ash and other cinders collected by the discharged dust collector shall be subject to the provisions of a Cabinet Order. The status of contamination by the like must be measured.
(3) When the installer of an air standard application facility or a water quality standard application business establishment has performed the measurement pursuant to the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, the result must be reported to the prefectural governor.
(4) When the prefectural governor receives a report pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, he / she shall publish the results of the measurements in paragraphs 1 and 2 that received the report.

[Reference] Article 4 of the Enforcement Order of the Dioxins Special Measures Law (measured by the installer)

Article 4 Measurement pursuant to the provisions of Article 28, Paragraph 1 of the Act shall be performed at least once a year for the amount of dioxins contained in the exhaust gas or effluent set forth in the same paragraph by the method specified by an Ordinance of the Ministry of the Environment.
2 Measurements pursuant to the provisions of Article 28, Paragraph 2 of the Act shall be performed by the method specified by an Ordinance of the Ministry of the Environment regarding the amount of dioxins contained in dust, incinerated ash and other cinders under the same paragraph.

[Reference] Article 2 of the Enforcement Regulations of the Dioxins Special Measures Law (Measurement Method)

Article 2 The methods specified by the Ordinance of the Ministry of the Environment under Article 8, Paragraph 2, Item 1 and Article 45, Paragraph 3 of the Act and Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Ordinance shall be as follows.

(I) When measuring exhaust gas, in addition to the Nihon Sangyo Standard K0311, the following shall be used.

(A) When collecting exhaust gas, collect at least 4 hours in principle under normal operating conditions (in the case of facilities listed in Appendix 1, Item 5 of the Ordinance, after one hour or more from the time when the combustion state was stable) thing.

(B) The collected gas shall be converted to a condition with a temperature of zero degrees and a pressure of one atmospheric pressure.

(C) When measuring exhaust gas from the facilities listed in the separate table No. 1, Items 1 and 5, make corrections based on the oxygen concentration in the remarks of Nihon Sangyo Standard K0311 7, 4, and 3. In this case, the concentration of oxygen to be converted (On) shall be 15% for facilities listed in the separate table No. 1, item 1 and 12% for facilities listed in the separate table No. 1, item 5 .

(Ii) When measuring discharged water, it shall be based on Nihon Sangyo Standard K0312.

(Iii) When measuring based on Article 45, Paragraph 3 of the Act, in addition to the provisions of item 2 above, the following shall apply.

B) The same sample is analyzed twice, and the amount of dioxins based on the analysis (the amount converted by the conversion method prescribed in Article 8, Paragraph 2, Item 1 of the Act.) The same applies in this item below. ) The smaller one shall be the measurement result.

(B) In any of the following cases, the same sample shall be analyzed again, and if the amount of dioxins by the re-analysis is smaller than the measurement result in a, regardless of the provisions of a, The amount of dioxins by re-analysis shall be used as the measurement result.

(1)When the measurement result by i does not conform to the emission standard or total amount regulation standard

(2)For at least one of the isomers listed in the middle column of the attached table 3 (limited to those in which the two measurements based on the analysis prescribed in (a) of the isomers are equal to or greater than the lower limit of quantification) When the difference between the average value of the two measurements and the smaller of the two measurements exceeds the value obtained by multiplying the average value by three sufficiently.

(Iv) In accordance with Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Ordinance, when measuring the exhaust gas emitted from facilities with an incineration capacity of less than 2,000 kilograms per hour among the waste incinerators listed in Appendix 1, Item 5 of the Ordinance , The following methods may be as specified by the Minister of the Environment as having sufficient accuracy without complying with the provisions of item 1.

Methods using the binding of idioxins to alyl hydrocarbon receptors

Method using antigen antigen antibody reaction using rodioxin as antigen

How to measure with a hagaschromatograph mass spectrometer

2 The method specified by the Ordinance of the Ministry of the Environment in Article 4, Paragraph 2 of the Ordinance shall be any of the following.

(I) A method of measuring by a high-resolution gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, specified by the Minister of the Environment.
