The substance "water," which is close to us, cannot be said to be kept clean due to the increase in the amount and types of chemical substances used and the pollutants contained in wastewater. Our company conducts measurements and analyses of water quality related to living environments, including tap water, pool water, bathing water, factory effluent, environmental water (rivers, lakes, seas, groundwater), and agricultural water. Please feel free to consult us regarding items not listed above.

While the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act and various regulations mandate soil contamination investigations, there has been an increase in cases where individuals voluntarily conduct soil contamination surveys to determine the presence of contamination or to assess real estate value during land transactions. By conducting soil contamination investigations in advance, we can ensure safe, secure, and smooth land transactions, preventing issues such as lawsuits that may arise if contamination is discovered after the sale. Our company is a designated investigation agency under the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act, and we provide comprehensive investigation results, from historical research and investigation planning to soil sampling and highly accurate analysis results.

Complaints related to noise and vibration are said to be the most common among environmental issues. The Noise Regulation Act and the Vibration Regulation Act stipulate compliance with regulatory values for businesses with specific facilities to preserve the living environment of surrounding areas. In recent years, complaints about low-frequency noise have been increasing, and manuals and guidelines have been published to address this issue. Our company conducts preliminary surveys related to noise and vibration, as well as measurements of noise and vibration in offices and factories.

Asbestos is highly regarded for its durability, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation properties, and in Japan, it was once referred to as the "miracle mineral" and was widely used for various applications. However, in recent years, it has been feared as a substance that poses significant health risks to humans. The "Asbestos Hazard Prevention Regulations" have strengthened measures to prevent exposure to asbestos during activities such as the demolition of buildings, and if the presence of asbestos cannot be determined through preliminary surveys, conducting analytical investigations and recording the results are mandatory. Our company utilizes analytical equipment such as X-ray diffraction devices and phase contrast microscopes to measure and analyze the concentration of asbestos in products and air.

Work environment management is one of the fundamentals of occupational health measures, and it is important for eliminating various harmful factors in the work environment and ensuring the health of workers. The Occupational Safety and Health Act mandates that employers conduct work environment measurements for specific workplaces to secure the health of workers. The substances targeted include dust, specific chemical substances, organic solvents, lead, and noise. Our company accurately measures these factors with extensive experience and the latest technology. Additionally, we provide advice for environmental improvement based on the results.

Currently, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) are required to be stored under strict management according to waste disposal laws. However, under the "Special Measures Law for the Promotion of Proper Disposal of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Waste" enacted in 2001, it is mandatory for storage operators of low-concentration PCB waste to dispose of it by March 31, 2027. Therefore, when replacing the insulating oil of transformers or capacitors manufactured before 1989, or when decommissioning such equipment, it is necessary to investigate whether the PCB content exceeds 0.5 mg/kg. Our company conducts trace PCB analysis tests in insulating oil to accurately meet our customers' needs.
