From field surveys of roof runoff conducted in general residential houses in the Lake Biwa basin, the pollution loads of buildings in an urban area were evaluated. The samples were collected from the total roof drainage during a rainfall event, and the water pollutants investigated were total organic carbon ( TOC ) , total nitrogen ( TN ) , and total phosphorus ( TP ) . As a result, it was estimated that 67.7% of the total precipitation flowed out as roof wastewater, and it was clarified that the proportion of dissolved components was high in all cases. The calculated loads of TOC, TN, and TP from buildings were 60.4, 18.1, and 0.64 g ha -1 day -1 , respectively. By applying these loads and roadway loads in the Lake Biwa basin, the basic unit pollution loads of TOC, TN, and TP in the urban area of the Lake Biwa basin were estimated to be 140, 24.2, and 1.1 g ha -1 day -1 , respectively.

In the Seto Inland Sea, oligotrophication due to the long-term reduction measures of nitrogen and phosphorus, which is evidenced by the discoloration of nori laver and a decrease in fishery production, is pointed out. In this study, we developed a fertilizer that can elute nutrients required for the growth of marine organisms. The main ingredient of this fertilizer is chicken manure, to which steel slag and hardener were added, followed by pressing to form a solid fertilizer. To establish the proper N/P/Fe elution ratio for the growth of microalgae, elution tests using 500 L flasks were carried out with fertilizer pieces of different ingredient mixed ratios. A long-term elution test was also performed using the actual size fertilizer (25 cm diameter and 23 cm height) in 100 L containers under flow-through seawater systems. Elution of nutrients continued for longer than 5 months. It is concluded that the fertilizer developed in this study is useful for enhancing the growth of marine organisms.

The antibiotic-resistant ratios of Escherichia coli taken from rivers in Kanagawa prefecture were investigated to clarify their changes since the early 2000s. A considerable number of isolates taken from urbanized rivers carried resistance to cefotaxime, indicating human-related sources such as combined sewer overflows and companion animals. On the other hand, some of the isolates from rivers in the suburbs carried simultaneous resistances to tetracycline and to sulfamethoxazole, which were associated with livestock farming. A comparison of resistant ratios in 2019 with those in the early 2000s shows a significant decrease in the resistance associated with livestock farming and an increase in the resistance to levofloxacin and to gentamicin, although this increase was not statistically significant.

To apply the one-stage partial nitritation-anammox (PNA) process to municipal mainstream wastewater, an experiment on continuous nitrogen removal using hydroxyapatite crystallization and partial nitritation-anammox (HAP-PNA) granule was conducted at 25 °C using real sewage pretreated with anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBR). In the sewage adaptation period, the ammonium concentration of the sewage was firstly adjusted to 150 mg-N L and then gradually decreased to 100 and then to 50 mg-N L. Finally, the real sewage treatment with the ammonium concentration of 33 mg-N L for long-term operation at HRT of 2 h. Results of the continuous feeding tests for the real sewage treatment, showed that a nitrogen removal efficiency of 87% was obtained at HRT of 2 h, and the rates of ammonium oxidation and nitrogen removal by anammox bacteria were 0.20 and 0.34 kg-N (m d), respectively. From the results of microbial analysis, the top two dominant species were the anammox bacteria and AOB, with relative abundances of 30.2% (Candidatus Kuenenia stuttgartiensis) and 13.6% (Nitrosomonas sp.), respectively. Therefore, it was shown that AOB and anammox bacteria involved in the PNA process could be maintained during the real sewage treatment. This is the first demonstration of the successful operation and stable high performance of the PNA process with HAP-PNA granule for treating mainstream sewage.

Research on plastic debris in the ocean and rivers is being vigorously conducted, but there is little research on the dynamics of plastic from the basin, which is one of the sources of plastic waste, to rivers and coasts. In this study, we conducted a field survey of basins ( roads ), rivers, and coasts in the Hikichi River basin, Kanagawa Prefecture, with the aim of clarifying the dynamics of plastic pieces in the basin, river, and coast. From the results of the sample particle recovery test, the target size of the plastic piece in this study was set to be > 1 mm. The results indicated that the numerical and mass concentration of plastic pieces in the road dust between districts considered were significantly higher in the commercial and residential areas, respectively, mainly because of the difference in plastic piece size distribution. A comparison of plastic materials on roads, rivers, and coasts showed that polyethylene ( PE ), polypropylene ( PP ), and polystyrene ( PS ), which have low specific gravity, were predominant in the river and materials washed up on the coast, but not significant in the road dust.
