The Review of the Air Pollution Control Law

概要

論文の詳細を見る
The Air Pollution Control Law was revised in June to include the provisions for regulation of total mass emissions in specific areas, and the regulations are scheduled to be enforced in this November. The basic policy in enforcing total mass emission regulations, is as follows; A) The new system will be introduced in areas where it is difficult to achieve the air quality standards by means of the conventional regulation system based on densities. B) Ceilings on total mass emissions (sufficient to attain the air quality standards) will be established for each designated area. C) Considering the ceilings of total emission volume in designated areas, emission volume limits will be set for each factory which is larger than specified scale and fuel standards will be established for smaller factories. Equality is to be assured when setting emission limits for each factory. Allowances within ceilings on total emissions are also to be made for emissions from new facilites yet to be built. D) The total mass emission regulations, after being applied initially to sulfur oxides alone, will be extended later to cover nitrogen oxides and soot and dust as well. E) Improvement orders will be issued to companies found to have committed violations, with sanctions to be imposed of non-compliance.
