After two decades operation of the initial environmental specimen banking, a new program, Environmental Time Capsule Program, started in 2002 as a government-supported long-term program to construct a firm scientific basis for various environmental research studies. The program consists of long-term environmental specimen banking activity and specimen collection of endangered wildlife and is based on cryogenic sample preservation facility called Environmental Time Capsule building, which completed construction in 2004. After 9 years of extensive research, research focuses have been selected and the program was reorganized to the environmental sample collection part and endangered wildlife collection part in 2011. Due to huge environmental disaster caused by the Great East Japan earthquake and the tsunami as well as subsequent nuclear power plant accident at Fukushima, a new sampling and monitoring program started at affected areas in collaboration with the reorganized environmental sample collection and archiving program. Outlines of the quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) activities in the program and future perspective under related international activities, particularly Stockholm Convention, are reported.
在最初的环境标本库运行二十年后，一项新计划——环境时间胶囊计划于2002年启动，作为一项由政府支持的长期计划，旨在为各种环境研究建立坚实的科学基础。该计划包括长期环境标本库活动和濒危野生动物标本采集，并以一个名为环境时间胶囊大楼的低温样本保存设施为基础，该大楼于2004年建成。经过9年的广泛研究，选定了研究重点，并于2011年将该计划重组为环境样本采集部分和濒危野生动物采集部分。由于东日本大地震和海啸以及随后福岛核电站事故造成的巨大环境灾难，一项新的采样和监测计划与重组后的环境样本采集和存档计划合作，在受灾地区启动。报告了该计划中质量保证和质量控制（QA/QC）活动的概况以及相关国际活动，特别是《斯德哥尔摩公约》下的未来展望。
