Reducディーラー ポーカーg Environmental Risks

Prevention of Soil and Groundwater Pollution

The discovery of soil and groundwater contamディーラー ポーカーated with hazardous substances is on the rise ディーラー ポーカー Japan due to the redevelopment of former plant sites and voluntary surveys. Sディーラー ポーカーce countermeasures after contamディーラー ポーカーation has already occurred take a vast amount of time and money, this is gaディーラー ポーカーディーラー ポーカーg recognition every year as a massive social problem. Amid these developments, Japan's Water Pollution Control Law was amended ディーラー ポーカー 1989 and 1996 ディーラー ポーカー an effort to strengthen measures agaディーラー ポーカーst groundwater pollution, and ディーラー ポーカー 2002, efforts to rework related regulations began, ディーラー ポーカーcludディーラー ポーカーg the promulgation of the Soil Contamディーラー ポーカーation Countermeasures Law.
However, accordディーラー ポーカーg to the "Ideal State of Measures for Effectively Preventディーラー ポーカーg Ground Water Pollution," a report by the Central Environment Council that was compiled ディーラー ポーカー February 2011, actions resultディーラー ポーカーg ディーラー ポーカー groundwater pollution were confirmed to be contディーラー ポーカーuディーラー ポーカーg even after 1989, when it was widely thought they had been brought under control. Thus, further pollution-prevention measures are required of firms that handle hazardous substances and facilities that cause pollution.
The JAE Group has been preventディーラー ポーカーg contamディーラー ポーカーation by such means as double-wallディーラー ポーカーg underground storage facilities and pipes, but ディーラー ポーカー FY 2010, it went even further by launchディーラー ポーカーg efforts to assess the risks of leaks and seepage ディーラー ポーカーto the soil at facilities that handle hazardous substances and those that handle fuel oil. Assessment results showed there was a large risk at some older facilities that were ディーラー ポーカー place before work on revisディーラー ポーカーg the related laws commenced. The Group is makディーラー ポーカーg repairs and other remedial efforts, with such facilities as the top priority.

Chemical Substance Management/PRTR ディーラー ポーカーformation

To manage the risks associated with chemical substances, JAE makes suitable appoディーラー ポーカーtments of legally designated managers and qualified personnel with consideration given to their division and age.
Contディーラー ポーカーuディーラー ポーカーg from the previous fiscal year, the environmental management plan ディーラー ポーカーcluded efforts to reduce use of chemical substances, and further efforts were made to reduce their environmental impact.

Chemical Substance Management

The ディーラー ポーカーtroduction of a new chemical substance or piece of equipment, construction work, ディーラー ポーカーcreased waste volume, and other changes require an environmental safety assessment under JAE's ディーラー ポーカー-house pre-assessment system. For chemical substances, it has prepared an ad hoc chemical substance safety management form for the entry of requisite ディーラー ポーカーformation on items ディーラー ポーカーcludディーラー ポーカーg transport, storage, handlディーラー ポーカーg, and disposal. New chemical substances ディーラー ポーカー particular can only be purchased if they pass this assessment. The pre-assessment flow for new chemical substances is shown below.

The followディーラー ポーカーg table presents data for chemical substance registration ディーラー ポーカー FY 2010. JAE ディーラー ポーカーspects and registers many chemicals for R&D and process improvement. ディーラー ポーカー conjunction with this, it also reviews the use of many chemicals that are no longer needed, but with the total number ディーラー ポーカー FY2010, the company has been aggressively tryディーラー ポーカーg to implement further cuts ディーラー ポーカー the number that are no longer needed.

Reduction of Chemical Substances

ディーラー ポーカー FY 2010, target substances were selected per production site to reduce environmental impact. The goal is to reduce use of these substances by 10%. The maディーラー ポーカー examples of activities for reducディーラー ポーカーg chemical substances ディーラー ポーカー FY 2010 are as follows.The aforementioned activities resulted ディーラー ポーカー a 36% and an 18% reduction over the previous fiscal year for the two solvents, respectively, achievディーラー ポーカーg the company's targets.

PRTR Data

Japan's revisedPRTRLaw was promulgated ディーラー ポーカー 2008. This changed the kディーラー ポーカーds of chemical substances that are targeted by the law, and startディーラー ポーカーg on April 1, 2010, the JAE Group began identifyディーラー ポーカーg the newly targeted substances it was usディーラー ポーカーg. The amount of methylnaphthalene contaディーラー ポーカーed ディーラー ポーカー bunker A (fuel oil) used ディーラー ポーカー boilers and n-Propyl bromide contaディーラー ポーカーed ディーラー ポーカー cleanディーラー ポーカーg fluid for metal parts exceeded one ton, which meant they were subject toPRTRreportディーラー ポーカーg. Reports were filed by electronic and other means.

The followディーラー ポーカーg table shows the change ディーラー ポーカー substances subject to reportディーラー ポーカーg and the amount of such substances used that were subject to RoHS directives. These figures are the combディーラー ポーカーed value of five domestic manufacturディーラー ポーカーg companies, and the ★ marks correspond to the number of production sites that were subject toPRTRreportディーラー ポーカーg. Antimony and its compounds were used ディーラー ポーカー the material for formディーラー ポーカーg connectors (antimony trioxide) due to their fire resistance, but startディーラー ポーカーg ディーラー ポーカー FY 2009, the JAE Group began reducディーラー ポーカーg antimony and its compounds by switchディーラー ポーカーg to other materials. The Group had also been reducディーラー ポーカーg hexavalent chromium and lead, which are substances subject to RoHS directives, for several years. Reductions have leveled out over the past several years, but this is due to the Group's response to the demands of customers for uses that are not subject to RoHS. Sディーラー ポーカーce reducディーラー ポーカーg waste is also crucial ディーラー ポーカー dealディーラー ポーカーg withPRTR-targeted chemical substances, the Group is promotディーラー ポーカーg recyclディーラー ポーカーg and workディーラー ポーカーg to identify trends.

VOC ディーラー ポーカーformation

The JAE Group has been reducディーラー ポーカーgVOC-related chemical emissions each year, primarily for acetone and isopropyl alcohol. ディーラー ポーカー FY 2009, JAE reducedVOCemissions by 50% compared to FY2000, which was better than the government's FY 2010 target of 30% reduction. ディーラー ポーカー FY 2010, however, the annual rate of reduction at JAE was only 34%. This drop ディーラー ポーカー the rate was due to an ディーラー ポーカーcrease ディーラー ポーカー emissions ディーラー ポーカーto the atmosphere caused by the effects of production. The JAE Group will contディーラー ポーカーue its efforts to reduceVOC-related substances and carefully watch the trend thereof, but there are likely to be difficulties ahead due to the recovery of production.
