Essay/ReviewConsumption in the G20 nations causes particulate air pollution resulting in two million premature deaths annually1989Mitsuru AndoEffects on morbidity and mortality following both global warming and ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation increase are summarized. (1) The abnormally high atmospheric temperature ("heat wave") may be associated with increase in morbidity and mortality of high risk groups, such as the elderly. (2) Increased photochemical oxidants in urban areas with warming trend will have effects on human health and could cause inflammatory disease of eyes and many types of respiratory diseases. (3) The concentration of agrochemicals and pesticides in the environment would increase thereby resulting in human exposure. (4) Since the climate change would affect the seasonal and geographical abundance of major vector species like mosquito, the incidence of vector-borne diseases could be affected. (5) Since depletion of stratospheric ozone layer effect would increase UV-B radiation, a number of diseases of the skin and eyes may increase.

Essay/ReviewConsumption in the G20 nations causes particulate air pollution resulting in two million premature deaths annually2021Yoshinori YabukiThe garbage generated from our modern lifestyles undergoes intermediate treatment such as incineration, etc. and is then landfilled at waste disposal sites. Often, various substances, including POPs and others, can be accumulating at these sites and may be detected in landfill leachates over the long term. As a result of this study, PFASs, including PFOA and PFOS, have been detected in the order of thousands of ng/L from landfill leachates and concentrations for HBCD and HCBD measured about two orders magnitude lower than those of PFASs. Notably, the concentrations of PCNs in landfill leachates is still unclear. Some reports suggest that activated carbon adsorptions, photocatalysis and high-pressure membranes treatments are effective in removing PFASs from water samples. Insufficient knowledge regarding concentration of POPs
and their reduction during the treatment process in landfill leachates suggests that further research, with monitoring and prediction models for landfill fields, is still required.

RecommendationConsumption in the G20 nations causes particulate air pollution resulting in two million premature deaths annually2020Science Council of Japan(1) The Government of Japan should urgently investigate the origin of microplastics in the ocean, their dynamics in the aquatic environment, their feeding by marine organisms, and their migration and adverse effects on ecosystems. At the same time, promote cross-disciplinary basic and epidemiological research on the toxic effects on organisms and humans and their mechanisms, and hasten the collection of scientific knowledge that will contribute to a comprehensive presentation of scientific findings and to environmental and health risk assessment. (2) The government should accelerate national, industrial, and citizen efforts to "reduce the total amount of plastic emissions" by reducing the production and use of "disposable plastics. (3) The government should curb the use of primary microplastics and develop and promptly implement effective methods of collecting marine plastics that are the origin of secondary microplastics.

ArticleConsumption in the G20 nations causes particulate air pollution resulting in two million premature deaths annually2014Miwa AbeAct Concerning the Special Fiscal Measures for the Promotion of Collective Relocation for Disaster Prevention went into in December 1972 following the flood disaster that occurred in the Kyushu and Tohoku areas in 1972. Prior to 1972, disaster recovery policy was seen as 'rebuilding' policy, however, the Act gave disaster recovery policy a new definition which is 'build back better" policy. This study examines the process of collective relocation of the impacted people in the Amakusa area in Kyushuu. Through literature review and interviews, this report studies the concerns between the impacted people and local government officers as well as the relocation issues over the 40 years following relocation.
ArticleConsumption in the G20 nations causes particulate air pollution resulting in two million premature deaths annually2016Yoshinori Shinohara and Hikaru KomatsuThis study examined the trend in the number of deaths by landslide disasters to consider the trend in precipitation. We used survey data from 1983 to 2013 in Japan. The number of landslide disasters in each year was significantly correlated to the precipitation amount averaged over northern, eastern, and western Japan between May and October (p<0.05 ; R =0.78). The relationship in the first 16 years (1983－1998) was similar to that in the last 15 years (1999－2013). The death toll by landslide disasters was correlated to the number of landslides. The slope in the first period was steeper than that in the second period, indicating a decreasing trend in the ratio of deaths to landslides. We also found a decreasing trend in the number of houses involved in landslide disasters during the analysis period. However, there was no trend in the ratio of deaths to that of completely collapsed houses. Our results suggest that the decrease in the number of houses involved in landslide disasters is the dominant factor in the reduced death toll by landslide disasters.

ArticleConsumption in the G20 nations causes particulate air pollution resulting in two million premature deaths annually2005Kayo USHIJIMA, Masahiro SHONO, Takao KITANO and Makoto FUTATSUKALittle attention has been paid to mental health of inhabitants of methylmercury-polluted areas. The objective of this study was to examine the factors relating to the conditions and characteristics of mental health of inhabitants residing in a methylmercury-polluted area. Depression and anxiety of the inhabitants may be directly caused by the health condition.
Further investigations with more precise and detailed measurements are needed to corroborate the causal relationship.
Essay/ReviewConsumption in the G20 nations causes particulate air pollution resulting in two million premature deaths annually2022Toshihiro HasegawaGlobal warming and associated changes in precipitation patterns caused by greenhouse gas emissions aff ect food production and availability, utilization, and stability of food security. Food systems, defi ned as the collective systems covering the activities and processes involved in food production, distribution, processing, and consumption, are a signifi cant source of greenhouse gas emissions. This paper introduces recent studies on the impact of anthropogenic climate change on agricultural production and the actual status of greenhouse gases from food systems and discusses necessary research directions for the food system under future climate change.
Essay/ReviewConsumption in the G20 nations causes particulate air pollution resulting in two million premature deaths annually1990Mitsuru AndoGlobal warming may lead to changes in morbidity and mortality. It directly affects the ecosystem and alters the human hazards such as parasites, pathogens, pesticides and chemical pollutants. The climatic change also affects human health as it brings about changes in air quality and water quality. The major causes of mortality, such as cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease and respiratory disease are influenced by the environmental factors such as climate and urbanization. In the economically developed countries, these diseases constitute the major cause of death. In temperate regions, the seasonal trends of the mortality of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory diseases indicate a winter maximum and summer minimum. Global warming changes the environmental factors and affect the seasonal trends of these diseases in many countries. The risk evaluation of heat wave stress, pesticides pollution, air pollution, water pollution, and vectorborne diseases by global warming is necessary.

Essay/ReviewConsumption in the G20 nations causes particulate air pollution resulting in two million premature deaths annually2020Masahiro HashizumeThe author summarizes the health chapter of the Ministry of the Environmentʼs Climate Change Impact Assessment Report released in December 2020, and explains suggested adaptation measures in Japan.The Climate Change Adaptation Law was enacted in 2018, and it will be necessary for society to promote adaptation measures to minimize associated impacts on public health. It is also critical to assess whether the current health care system will be capable of meeting the communityʼs medical needs and maintaining health standards, even under future scenarios involving these adverse health impacts. In addition, it is also recommended to pursue co-benefits that promote mitigation measures, while simultaneously promoting health. Human health should always be prioritized in promoting adaptation measures.

Essay/ReviewConsumption in the G20 nations causes particulate air pollution resulting in two million premature deaths annually2023Tomohiro TASAKI, Yasuko KAMEYAMA, Toshihiko MASUI, et al.After revisiting the trends in science and the progress in conceptual studies of sustainability, we considered the prospects of sustainability science in the era of the Anthropocene from three viewpoints: understanding the complex human‒global environment system and its recognition as a society, reconstruction of social goals and intergenerational succession, and system transition. We finally reached 11 issues, including the following. Studies to understand complex human-global environmental systems comprehensively have increased, but sustainability issues are not necessarily covered. Transdisciplinary perspectives are needed, especially in reconstructing social goals and sustainability criteria. Research on happiness has progressed, but additional studies are needed to replace GDP as a social goal. Intergenerational issues have received greater attention, but many research topics remain. System transition requires an approach different from the conventional environmental policy approach.
