Mercury emission in Kanto region is estimated in this study. Fossil fuel consumption facilities, waste incinerator, lime manufacturing plant and ships are selected as mercury emission sources. Emission intensities of these facilities are evaluated. As a result the mercury emission from all sources in 2000 in Kanto region is 1.5t/y. Emissions by source categories are estimated as:
·power generator: 67kg/y
·waste incinerator: 697kg/y
·lime manufacturing plant: 44kg/y
·ship: 33kg/y
·coal consumption facility: 264kg/y,
·hazardous waste incinerator: 10kg/y,
·sewage plant: 413kg/y
