AKI研究所 List of Products and Services

Asbestos is a natural fibrous mineral. Due to its tiny fibers, it can easily become airborne, and when inhaled, it may lead to lung cancer or mesothelioma after a latency period of about 20 to 40 years. Asbestos has excellent heat resistance, durability, and electrical insulation properties, and it is inexpensive, which has led to its widespread use in construction materials and general housing. When asbestos is in a state that makes it likely to become airborne, there are concerns about health hazards to users and residents due to inhalation. Our company conducts asbestos inspections, surveys, and analyses for individuals, businesses, and public facilities. For inquiries, please contact us by phone in advance. 【Examples of Asbestos-Containing Building Materials】 ■ Fireproofing materials (such as steel structures in buildings) ■ Wall materials in general housing (such as slate boards made from cement containing asbestos) ■ Soundproofing and insulation materials in boiler rooms, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Environmental Survey

At AKI Research Institute, we offer analysis and measurement of dioxins in environmental surveys and analysis services. We conduct dioxin measurements based on the Waste Management and Public Cleansing Law, including dioxin measurements at waste incineration facilities (sample collection and concentration measurement) and dioxins contained in soil and waste (sample collection and concentration measurement). We adopt measurement methods for dioxins based on JIS, specifically JISK0311 for measuring dioxins and coplanar PCBs in exhaust gases, and JISK0312 for measuring dioxins and coplanar PCBs in industrial water and factory wastewater. For inquiries, please contact us by phone in advance. 【Samples for Dioxin Measurement】 ■ Exhaust gases from incinerators, incineration ash, fly ash ■ Atmosphere, soil, drinking water, river water, groundwater, industrial wastewater, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Environmental Survey

Our company conducts indoor air quality measurements to address the so-called Sick House Syndrome, which is caused by the contamination of room air by chemical substances, leading to health issues for residents (such as eye irritation, sore throat, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and fatigue). Using a more convenient and cost-effective "passive method," customers can easily collect indoor air samples using a set of measuring instruments sent by our company. They simply need to collect chemical substances in the air into the collection tube and return it to us, allowing us to determine the concentration of chemicals in the room (up to a maximum of 7 substances for which the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has established guideline values). [Service Details] ■ Chemical Substance Category: Aldehydes - Breakdown: Formaldehyde, Acetaldehyde ■ Chemical Substance Category: Volatile Organic Compounds - Breakdown: Toluene, Xylene, Ethylbenzene, Styrene, etc. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
