The Soil Contamination Prevention Law was enacted to protect the environment and human health in Japan. The purpose of this law is to accurately determine the state of soil contamination and to ensure appropriate management and cleanup. In particular, landowners are required to conduct a soil survey when a business site that handles hazardous substances is discontinued or when land is changed in use, and to take appropriate risk reduction measures if contamination is confirmed. In addition, support measures are available to reduce the financial burden.
