  13. In order to reduce the ecological impact of manufacturing, it is necessary to minimize the environmental burden of each part of the system. We have developed a new computerized simulation method for assessing the environmental impact of proposed new products and manufacturing processes. Inputs to the simulator include environmental loads, and product and facility information. The materials and energy which are input to and output from the system under analysis are measured in "Ecounits", an index which represents the total environmental burden of the resources used and system outputs. The output from the simulator allows calculation of the predicted increment in ecounits caused by operation of the system. During tests of the simulator, the environmental impact of a hypothetical factory producing mechanical components was predicted, and the simulation method was shown to provide realistic and useful data.

  13. It is well known that volatile metals such as Cd, Pb and Zn are highly condensed in small particles and have a harmful effect on human health. It is especially required that the valency of these metals is determined because of the correlation of the harmfulness. In this research, the analytical method that can be highly sensitive to these metals simultaneously, and quantitatively analyze the valency of the metals is established.

  13. It is inferred that current authorized method (JIS Z8808) for measuring source dust can not estimate substances emitted from stationary sources which might change to supended particulate matter (Ssuspendedhe ambient air. We call the substances, which are emitted from the sources as gaseous component, and immediately changed to particles in the air near the stack, as the condensed dust. This research aims to establish the simplified-automatic measuring method of concentration and chemical component on particle size of source dust including condensed dust.
