Research Center for Environmental Quality Management
Improving Environmental Quality by Controlling, Evaluating, and Mitigating Harmful Substances
TThe Research Center for Environmental Quality Management (RCEQM) focuses on environmental quality. The goals are to include engineering research with a more evolved education on the harmful effects of environmental pollutants on people and ecosystems under an integrated collaboration in three areas: control, evaluation, and mitigation. The RCEQM has a unique system for inviting professors from outside of Japan. The expectations for the achievements of the RCEQM are high, considering the increased global awareness of issues that directly affect people and ecosystems combined with the current recognition that even the slightest change to the environment has serious cumulative effects.
