Because the dismantlement of the building where asbestos had been used would increase in the future, the Ministry of the Environment decided the policy of supporting technological development to prevent the health damage to the resident by the asbestos dispersion.
200 million yen will be included in the budget request of the budget in the coming year.
The development such as equipment that can instantaneously measure the number and the size of asbestos in air by promoting the research expense to the enterprise etc. , and using the laser light is pressed. This ministry says that they will aim to put this laser measuring instrument to practical use within two years.
In the dismantlement of the building with spraying asbestos, the dispersion prevention to surroundings is obligated by the air pollution control law.
Making to the obligation is examined about the building where the heat insulation material etc. including asbestos were used in this ministry.
However, it was necessary to take asbestos in air home to the collection and the inspection facilities by using the filter on the dismantlement site, to count the number of asbestos with a microscope, and be not able to understand the level of dispersion at once then and there by a present technology.
