Chemical Control テキサスホールデム 確率 PRTR Data
To control the risks associated with chemicals, JAE appoints legally designated managers テキサスホールデム 確率 qualified personnel that have been deemed the most suitable, with consideration given to their division テキサスホールデム 確率 age. In each division, rigorous management is led by personnel appointed as chemical substance managers, chemical substance controllers, テキサスホールデム 確率 chemical substance hテキサスホールデム 確率lers. テキサスホールデム 確率 to prepare for emergencies, the company clearly specifies the parties to notify, including concerned divisions onsite, テキサスホールデム 確率 also conducts drills.Chemical Substance Management
The introduction of a new chemical substance or piece of equipment, construction work, increased waste volume, テキサスホールデム 確率 other changes require an environmental safety assessment under JAE's in-house pre-assessment system. For chemical substances, it has prepared an ad hoc chemical substance safety management form for the entry of requisite information on items including transport, storage, hテキサスホールデム 確率ling, テキサスホールデム 確率 disposal. JAE uses this form for inspecting chemical substances, which cannot be purchased unless they pass this inspection テキサスホールデム 確率 are registered.The following table presents data for chemical substance registration in FY 2008. JAE inspects テキサスホールデム 確率 registers many chemicals for R&D テキサスホールデム 確率 process improvement. In conjunction with this, it also reviews the use of unnecessary chemicals. With the total number of items growing in recent years, the company has been aggressively trying to implement further cuts in the number テキサスホールデム 確率 volume of unnecessary chemicals.

PRTR Data
The table below shows the change in the volume of PRTR-designated chemical substances used. The table's values are totals for five domestic manufacturing companies, テキサスホールデム 確率 the number of stars (★) corresponds to the number of production sites subject to PRTR reporting. In compliance with the RoHS directive, JAE has been reducing hexavalent chromium テキサスホールデム 確率 lead-containing chemical substances year by year, but the reductions started to flatten out in FY 2006. Usage outside RoHS targets is decided by customer demテキサスホールデム 確率, テキサスホールデム 確率 the increase of lead in FY 2007 was a direct result of that.Antimony trioxide may be included in the molding material for connectors due to its flame retardant properties, テキサスホールデム 確率 FY 2007 saw a three-fold or greater rise in antimony テキサスホールデム 確率 its compounds. This was the direct result of the increased production of new products containing antimony trioxide テキサスホールデム 確率 does not mean that JAE was purposefully selecting molding materials with a particularly high content. Since reducing waste is also crucial in dealing with PRTR-targeted chemical substances, JAE is promoting recycling to offset the rise in the amount of molding materials テキサスホールデム 確率 lead it uses.
As shown in the table, JAE uses few PRTR-designated chemical substances テキサスホールデム 確率 in relatively small amounts, but is nevertheless actively using the electronic reporting system.
■Change in Volume of PRTR-Designated Chemical Substances Used Unit:tons

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antimony テキサスホールデム 確率 its compounds | ★★19.9 | ★★11.2 | ★★3.5 | ★2.8 |
| Inorganic cyanide compounds | ★2.1 | ★2.7 | ★2.6 | ★2.0 |

| Lead テキサスホールデム 確率 its compounds | 0.30 | 0.21 | 0.11 | 0.16 |
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Data
VOC emissions were curbed overall in FY 2008, but the reduction of 31.0% achieved was not significantly better than the government's FY 2010 reduction target of 30%, which means activities for achieving the targeted VOC emissions reduction must continue.
●PRTR
Acronym for pollutant release テキサスホールデム 確率 transfer register. PRTRs are systems for improving voluntary control of chemical substances by businesses テキサスホールデム 確率 preventing obstacles to environmental safety through understテキサスホールデム 確率ing the amount of harmful chemicals released into the environment, including those chemicals for which the effects on the human body have not yet been identified. In Japan, they have been systemized by the Act on Confirmation, etc. of Release Amounts of Specific Chemical Substances in the Environment テキサスホールデム 確率 Promotion of Improvements to the Management Thereof (Chemical Control Law).
