3.progress in Technology-Based Controls

Knowledge of accurate conditions of contamination is fundamental to the control of air pollution. 's first continuous measurement of SO2 using automatic analyzers in 1962, and subsequently, in 1966, introduced constant monitoring by Mie Prefecture started Japan 's first continuous measurement of SO
Later, in 1973, a prefectural ordinance was issued to impose 16 major plants obligatory insta11atian of digital telemeter system (emission-source The plants were requested to submit detailed source data such as fuel types in use, fuel consumption, flue gas consumption, and air pollution parameters to the Environmental Science Institute of Mie Prefecture. The plants were requested to submit detailed source data such as fuel types in use, fuel consumption, flue gas volume, and S02 concentration through the telemeter systems so that the emission volume from each plant can be noted for effective enforcement of the areawide total pollutant load control.
In addition to the above, a photochemical pollution predicting system that dispatches predictive pollution-related information to each plant to have them take effective precautionary measures for reducing pollutant emissions was also introduced in 1991.
