Educational Programs

We want to convey the importance and fascination of analysis to many people and enable them to feel that environmental problems are closely related to their lives. Based on this "Omoi"of our employees, we launched events involving hands-on scientific experiments for children in 1985. These events have now evolved into environmental awareness classes involving experiments that use HORIBA products and familiar materials.

These classes teach elementary and junior and senior high school students about the impact harmful substances have on the environment and the human body, thus providing them an opportunity to think about environmental problems in the context of everyday life.

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, six environmental awareness classes which were attend by 261 people in total.
