Commitment to Hazardous Air Pollutants and PRTR
In June 2002, it became mandatory to apply to the national government for chemical substances that are designated under the Law Concerning Reporting etc. of Releases to the Environment of Specific Chemical Substances and Promoting Improvements in Their Management (the PRTR Law).
The chemical industry began voluntary compliance with the PRTR in fiscal 1992. Mitsui Chemicals has fully participated in this commitment through such actions as submitting a report to the Japan Chemical Industry Association and assigning priorities to the reduction plan, a plan that is currently being implemented.
Mitsui Chemicals set voluntary guidelines for the method of assessing risk in environmental preservation to reduce the emission of air pollutants.
We continue our endeavor to obtain the support of the people in relevant communities as well as the nation, by identifying and evaluating the environmental impact on peripheral areas due to emissions and conducting risk man- agement.
