Example Method Description

1. Paints Top–down Estimated from national shipment

2. Pesticides Semi-top down Estimated from prefectural shipment

3. Cars (hot start) Semi-bottom up Estimated from traffic volume & emission factor, but only highways are covered (smaller streets are not)

4. Listed Industries under the reporting thresholds

Top-down &Bottom-upCombined

One part estimated from national shipment,Another part estimated from mean amounts of substances handled per business operator

Discussion Points① Two estimation methods

Top-down & Bottom-up

◆General descriptions

2.  Estimation Techniques; Examples

9

Discussion Points

② In general, the results from Top-down method are better in terms of uncertainty = preferred method

Statistics, other data = critical factor

for estimation projects common to all countries

③ When Top-down method is not possible; Bottom-up method can be envisaged through sample surveys

in order to gather emission factors, amounts of substances used, etc. it may be necessary to conduct a new set of survey

specifically for PRTR

④ In addition to ①-③ above; an estimation result needs to be assorted into notified release

& release outside notification, in order to avoid double-counting

◆General descriptions

<Step 1> Identifying Release Sources to be estimated

-> Estimation by release sources e.g. pesticides, paints, etc. is more effective than estimation by each substance

-> Japanese release sources can be categorized into 3 kinds;

2.  Estimation Techniques; Examples

10

Categories Examples of Release Sources

Products containing substances

Pesticides, paints, adhesives, detergents, etc.

Mobile sources Cars, motorbikes, ships, aircrafts, etc.

Others Drinking water (trihalomethane), Listed Industries under the reporting thresholds

◆General descriptions

<Step 2> Identifying Available Data

-> Necessary to identify available data for each release source-> Existing data in Japan; Examples

◆Very Brief Notes on Prefectural Distribution

2.  Estimation Techniques; Examples

47

3 patterns for distribution

① Releases are proportional to industrial activities Distribution index based on economic data (e.g. Economic Census,

PRTR Notification Data) Ex. Listed Industries < thresholds, Paints etc. (excluding releases from

households)

② Releases are proportional to population or households Distribution index based on population data (e.g. Population Census)

Ex. Paints, Insecticides, etc. (only releases from households)

③ Releases are proportional to other index Distribution index based on other data (e.g. distance travelled by car,

number of breaking pads) Ex. Cars, Railroad Wagons, etc.

④ Estimation made at the prefecture level Ex. Pesticides, Aircrafts, etc.

3.  Summary

48

Keys for Estimating Releases

① Shared interests among stakeholders regarding the target release sources & substances

Stakeholders include the regulators and regulated alike

The interests in estimating which substances and which release sources are commonly shared

② Availability of statistics and other data

Data include national statistics on business and population, as well as the data from the business associations

③ Close collaboration with business associations and inter-ministerial cooperation

Especially conducting surveys with enterprises

Data and statistics may be available from MLIT etc.
