1. Abstract
Japan has made a remarkable progress not only in the area of the economic
development but also in the area of the pollution control after the world
war the second. This paper, firstly tries to make analysis of Japanese
pollution policies to the mainly atmospheric problems and to fix the
specified Japan Environmental Model of atmosphere during this forty years,
secondly to make the analysis to NIEs countries and the developing east
Asian countries, finally to make the recommendation of the importance of
the application of the advanced technologies to the transitional
environmental issues.
2. Introduction
The growth of Japanese GNP of this forty years is a remarkable expansion
and the economies of NIEs countries followed Japan like the flying traveling
style of wild geese.
This paper intends to remind the another phase of Japanese social policies.
Those are the environmental public pollution matters. Some Japanese
pollution control policies were effective to protect the earth from the
environmental contaminations. Especially against the atmospheric problems
Japan’s governmental controls were executed stage by stage after 1970's. The
performance should be recognized by other countries at the time of the
ending 20 centuries.
Among the major factors, the China economies has started to make another
Yu
development and pollution matters toward the 21** centuries, and we have
to consider the China progress almost as ourselves for Asian people. Because
China has 1.2 billions populations, the influence of the economic
development and provisions shortage would make other Asian countries like
dependent. Asian countries have to make policies altogether for the
sustainable environments of the earth.
To meet the end of the century we need to cope with the environmental
critical matters, and have to try to find some ways for the next generations
to protect the earth from contaminations. For the achievement of these goals,
making the Japan environmental model of atmoshere could be helpful as well
as useful.
3. Quality Analysis from the literature surveys
To watch the trend of pollution problems in Japan, it is necessary to follow
the social pollution problems in Japan after 1960’s. To make this jobs
specifically, we made keywords analyses of over one hundred publications
in the metropolitan city libruary about the public control. Through the
survey of the literatures, we could follow the keywords of Japan pollution
matters as follows

4.Major factors of atmoshere pol lutions
4.1Protection of public nuisance in 60’s
There is an explanation of “no public nuisance five years ago” on the book
published in 1968. The number of registered automobiles were only eight
millions ten thousands in 1965.
4.2 Local pollutions control in 70’s
Thermochemical smog attached over high-school students in mid-Tokyo in
1970 and 43 students were fell sick and 11 went to hospital. Other topic
of the increasing waste became a big problems. Los Angeles thermochemocal
smog was the worldwide news.
4.3 Wide area pollution in 80’s
The keyword acid rains found in the translated book from Canada. Emission
gas became the problem again, and NOx and SOx problems were observed in
Japan. The number of registered automobiles counted aprroximately 38
millions in 1980 and 46 millions in 1985. Ouzone hole was a big news
worldwidely in 80’s and freon was noticed as an injurious to the earth.
4.4 Sustainability of the earth environment in 90's
The serious pollution problems invade the earth environment globally.
How to sustain the earth environment has come to the challenging theme
for the people.
5. Japan model
Growth phase
- GDP of Japan
+ Registered Automobile Numbers
+ Energy Cumsunption
Pollution control phase
+ NOx, SOx emissions
+ S02 level in the atomoshere
- CO Level in the atmoshere
Law history
* Control over the smoke and soot in 1962
+ Control over the atomoshere pollution in 1968
+Control over the treatment and scavenge of waste in 1970
+ Permission and limitation of emission gas of automobiles in 1973
*Control over the ezoune layer protection in 1988
+ Reduction of NOz from automobiles gas of specified area 1992
