Article 1 Purpose
This law is enacted for the purpose of preserving living environment and contributing
to protection of the people's health by
carrying out necessary regulations and
by promoting other countermeasures to control offensive odors generated in the
course
of business activities at factories or at other places of business.
Article 2 Definitions
1. "Specified offensive odor substances" as used in this Law means
ammonia, methyl melcaptan and other substances
as described in the cabinet order
as likely to cause unpleasant odors and disrupt the living environment.
2. "Odor Index" as used in this Law is a value concerning the degree of the offensive odor in the gas or water and it shall be calculated, according to stipulations by the ordinance of the Prime Minister's Office, as a multiple of the dilution in the case where the gas or water has been diluted until offensive odor is no longer detectable by the human sense of smell.
Article 3 Regulation Area
The prefectural governors shall designate densely populated areas or other areas,
in which control of offensive odors is needed
to preserve the living environment
of the residents, as "regulation areas" in which the discharge (including
leakage,
hereinafter the same shall apply) of sources of offensive odors (gases
or water which contain specified offensive odor substances
and other gases and
water which cause offensive odors, hereinafter referred to as "sources
of offensive odors") generated
in the course of business activities at
factories or other places of business (hereinafter referred to as simply "place
of business").
Article 4 Regulation Standards
1. The prefectural governors shall establish regulation standards for specified
offensive odor substances as indicated in the
following regulation standards
items and for each regulation area or each division of regulation area which
shall be made in
consideration of natural and social conditions of the areas.
1. Regulation standards for gases, containing specified offensive odor substances generated in the course of business activities at a place of business, at the ground surface on the boundary line of the site of said place of business shall be established as standards of maximum permissible concentration of specified offensive odor substances in the air within the range stipulated by the ordinance of the Prime Minister's Office.
2. Regulation standards for gases containing specified offensive odor substances generated in the course of business activities at a place of business and discharged from smoke stacks or other gas emission facilities, at the point of emission of said facilities shall be established, based on the permissible concentration of specified offensive odor substances established under the preceding Subparagraph, as standards of permissible flow rate of specified offensive odor substances or permissible concentration of specified offensive odor substances in the emitted gas according to the height of the stacks pursuant to the method provided for under the ordinance of the Prime Minister's Office.

(4) Procedure of the judgment test
i) Environmental sample
Sample is prepared in one of three odor bags filled with non smell air and sealed with silicon rubber, by introducing sampling gas with injector and diluted to the dilution ratio for the first test (Hereinafter referred to "First dilution ratio") (note 1). Prepared odor bag (hereinafter referred to "smell odor bag") and two odor bag with non-smell air (hereinafter referred to "non-smell odor bag") are given to the panel. Panel selects on odor bag that he/she suspects that odor substance is injected. (It is called "selecting operation". Hereinafter referred in the same manner.) The selecting operation is repeated three times by each panel.
For selecting operation performed by each panel, correct answer point, 1.00 is given to the panel in case of selecting smell odor bag, 0.00 is given to the panel in case of selecting non-smell odor bag and 0.33 is given in case where selection is disabled. The summation of correct answer points is divided by number of selection made by panels. The average correct point is less than 0.58, the judgement test is finished. In case where the average correct point equals to or is greater than 0.58, the dilution ratio is set 10 times greater than original value and perform the same operation above, then the judgment test is finished.
(note 1) The first dilution ratio shall normally be 10. However, in case where the average correct answer point can be estimated to equal to or be greater than 0.58, the first dilution ratio is decided to value greater than 10 for the value of average correct point to be lower than 0.58. ii) Emission point sample
Selecting operation is conducted by each panel for one smell odor bag and two non-smell odor bag that are prepared at the first dilution ratio (note 2) in the same manner as III-2-4-i). In this selecting operation, the test is finished for the panel who selected non-smell odor bag or could not select. The test is further performed by using sample diluted by three times for the panel who selected smell odor bag, then the test is finished in case where the panel selects non-smell odor bag or is unable to select.
(note 2) The first dilution ratio shall be the value that the panel is able to make decision of existence of odor and to avoid the effect of exhausted smell function.
3. Calculation of odor index
(1) Environment sample
The odor index is calculated by following equation;
where Y is odor index, M is the first dilution ratio,
r1 is the average correct answer point and
r0 is the average correct
answer for the first dilution ratio multiplied by 10.
However
in case where the average correct answer point for the first dilution
ratio is 0.58, the value of the
odor index is indicated the value less
than 10logM. In case where the value Y has fractional number less than 1,
the odor index is rounded value of Y.
(2) Emission point sample
i) Threshold of each panel is calculated for the dilution ratio of the sample odor by following equation. where X1 is a threshold of a panel for the dilution ratio of sample odor, M11 is the maximum of the dilution ratio for odor bag in case where the panel selects the smell odor bag, M01 is the dilution ratio for odor bag in case where the panel selects the non-smell odor bag or could not select the bag.
ii) After eliminating minimum and maximum of calculated X1 for panel, all the values except eliminated values were added and the summation is divide by number that is two less than number of panels.
iii) Calculation made by using following equation. However, in case where the value Y has fraction number less than 1, the odor index is rounded value of Y. where Y is the odor index and X is the value that is calculated by ii) shown above.
4. Calculation method of odor intensity
(1) |
Odor concentration of the sample odor is calculated by the following equation; where Y is the
odor index that is calculated by method of previous paragraph. |
(2) |
Odor concentration of the sample odor is calculated by the following equation; where qd is odor intensity (unit : cubic meter per second at 0 degree Celsius and 1 atm.), C is the value calculated in (1) and Q0 is flow rate of the exhaust gas (unit : cubic meter per second at 0 degree Celsius and 1 atm.). |
