環境資源システム総合研究所 List of Products and Services

The Yokohama National University Environmental Safety Engineering Laboratory, which is the origin of our organization, has been handling toxicity information for many years. In this service, we will conduct safety assessments by utilizing the accumulated toxicity information and know-how, without performing precise individual analyses, taking into account the physical properties of chemical substances, reliable toxicity information, and the conditions at the site where the chemicals are used. Depending on your requests and the substances being evaluated, assessments based on simple analysis results from the field may also be possible. Please make use of this for screening evaluations in chemical handling environments and other related areas.

• Other civil engineering services

At the Yokohama National University Laboratory of Environmental Safety Engineering, which is the origin of our organization, we have been conducting environmental analysis and assessments of environmental conditions for many years. Additionally, we utilize this knowledge and experience to conduct environmental impact assessments of chemical substance emissions (PRTR reported emissions). In this service, we evaluate and quantify environmental impacts at low cost using existing information, interviews about actual conditions, and simple measurements. By assessing the manufacturing processes of new products, we can identify processes that contribute significantly to carbon dioxide emissions, compare the magnitude of impacts on ecosystems with existing products, and quantitatively evaluate environmental emissions. This allows us to quickly and cost-effectively understand where the features lie and where improvements can be made.

• Other resource recycling

Our company, originating from a university, has been engaged for many years in researching environmental measurement technologies, either as a subject of study or as evaluation tools for environmental conditions and technologies. Although it may seem simple, it often happens that when measurements are taken, they "deviate from the official method and are hard to understand" or "cannot be used as expected." This is because the relationship between the sample being analyzed and the analysis method is not well grasped. At our organization, we leverage our long-standing achievements and insights, such as conducting research funded by the Ministry of the Environment and developing simplified measurement methods recognized by the national and local governments, to support the utilization of simplified measurements in field measurements.

• Consulting companies

According to national labor accident statistics and reports of household product accidents, incidents and health damages caused by chemical substances have not decreased. When including minor accidents and near misses, it is believed that a considerable number of dangerous cases exist. In several cases handled by our office, there were instances where hazardous materials or toxic substances were handled without knowledge of the chemicals involved, and cases where individuals were actually exposed to high concentrations of chemicals during work, making it impossible to deny health risks. Our office checks the safety of handling based on component information, their physical and toxic properties, or actual measured values. Based on these results, we provide alternative proposals and support for safe handling. Furthermore, it is also possible to promote these evaluation results as features of products or services. We suggest better methods for the health of workers, surrounding residents, or those using the products, including pets. Please feel free to contact us via email or phone. We can also discuss matters online.

• Environmental Survey

Chemicals emitted into the environment as a result of business activities or product use can potentially impact ecosystems. This service evaluates the weighted emissions of chemicals based on the latest reliable information on individual chemicals' toxicity. For example, it can identify which chemicals released from a facility should be prioritized for emission reduction or substitution by considering their effects on foundational ecosystem components such as phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish. By advancing initiatives based on the results of such toxicity assessments, it becomes possible to transform business activities into those with a lower ecological impact. The results of these initiatives can be quantitatively presented to citizens and shareholders as part of the company's environmental activities. The information published in the related links is based on analyses using regional emission data, but similar analyses can also be conducted at the facility or corporate level. Additionally, it is possible to calculate impacts on human health, allowing for a multifaceted evaluation. Support for alternative considerations (such as whether the toxicity of alternative substances is not too high or whether they are not prone to environmental leakage) is also available.
