We also investigate the performance of exhaust gas emitted from waste incineration plants and the performance of pollution prevention equipment (e.g., dust removal equipment, equipment that purifies exhaust gas, etc.).
We are also investigating gas generated from waste landfill.

We conduct surveys on discharge from waste incineration plants and wastewater and well water from landfill waste.

We investigate cinders (incinerated ash) generated from garbage incineration plants and soot collected by dust collectors. It is used as a material necessary for landfill disposal and resource recycling.

We investigate the percentage of kitchen garbage, paper waste, plastic, etc. contained in business waste from household garbage and business sites, and use it as a material to determine the amount of waste, separation rate, and resource recycling rate in Yokohama City.
For more information, please see the page of the garbage composition survey.
In addition, we are investigating food (food loss) that can be eaten but discarded.
For more information, see the page on the amount of food loss generated from homes.

We are investigating the impact on the surrounding environment at the Shinmeidai disposal site and the Minamihonmoku Waste landfill. In addition, we conduct surveys on dioxins at waste incineration plants.
For the survey results, please see each page of Minamihonmoku Waste landfill Environmental Survey, Shinmeidai Disposal Site Environmental Survey, and Waste Incineration Plant Dioxin Survey.

Investigate the concentration of radioactive materials (cesium 134 and cesium-137) derived from the nuclear accident contained in drainage of landfill in order to ensure the safety and security of citizens, and strive to properly maintain facilities and prevent the elution of radioactive cesium. In addition, we also measure air dose using a scintillation counter.
For the survey results, please see the page on the measurement status of radioactive material concentration and air dose measurement at landfill and waste incineration plants.
