Fiscal 2013 Emission Volume of PRTR Designated Chemical SubstancesThrough the monitoring, reduction and proper management of hazardous chemical substances,we strive to minimize their emissions to the environment.Reduction of Hazardous Chemical SubstancesThe PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) is the legal systemobliging business operators who handle potentially hazardouschemical substances to identify, collate and disclose information onsuch substances, including data on where the substances are generatedand emitted and whether the substances are transportedoff premises mixed with waste.The Pollutant Release and Transfer Law (PRTR Law) for thePromotion of Chemical Management, which is the basis of theabove system, requires such business operators to record theamount of such substances they handle, emit and transport. InApril 2001, 354 substances were listed as Class I DesignatedChemical Substances requiring surveys and reports to businessoperators. A revision of the law enacted in October 2009 furtherextended the scope of listed substances to 462, and established100 Class II Designated Chemical Substances. Business operatorshandling or manufacturing designated chemical substances mustmonitor the amount of such substances that are emitted into theenvironment as well as the amount transported off premises inwaste or sewage water for disposal. Also, these matters must beannually reported to the competent authorities.To reduce emissions of such chemical substances, Akebono hasbeen introducing powdered paints as well as paints that containlower amounts of organic solvents.As a result, the Company’s emission volume of PRTR designatedsubstances decreased 41% to 10.5 tons in fiscal 2013, comparedwith 17.7 tons in fiscal 2002, the year PRTR law was enforced.Transported amountEmission volume (atmosphere and rivers)Emission Volume of PRTR Designated Substances(atmosphere and rivers), Amount Transported (waste)Rivers Atmosphere Transported amount’02 ’08 ’09 ’10 ’11 ’12 ’13 (FY)17.72.445.912.99.1 9.6 9.910.60.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.022.526.5 24.129.510.536.423.0051015200255075100(t) (t)Fiscal 2013 Emission Volume of PRTR Designated Chemical SubstancesUnit: Tons/YearName of substance*1Amount handledAmount emitted Amount transported Amount removedthrough properremoval methodsAmount consumed(attached toAtmosphere Rivers Landfill Recycled products)FY12 FY13 FY12 FY13 FY12 FY13 FY12 FY13 FY12 FY13 FY12 FY13 FY12 FY13Antimony and its compounds 36.8 81.6 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 4.4 11.6 0.0 0.0 32.4 70.0Xylene 6.2 6.6 0.1 0.2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 6.1 6.4 0.0 0.0Trivalent chromium compounds 26.0 23.6 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 4.1 3.4 0.0 0.0 21.9 20.2Chlorobenzene 2.7 2.8 2.7 2.7 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0Triethylamine 1.4 1.4 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.2 0.0 1.2 1.4 0.0 0.0Hexamethylene tetramine 113.5 116.3 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 10.5 10.8 103.0 105.5 0.0 0.0Toluene 7.1 7.5 7.1 7.5 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0Nickel compounds*2 18.8 12.7 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 5.1 5.6 0.0 0.0 13.7 7.1Phenol 32.7 33.2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 2.9 2.9 29.8 30.3 0.0 0.0Manganese and its compounds 6.6 7.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.8 0.8 0.0 0.0 5.8 6.2Molybdenum and its compounds 6.8 6.9 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.1 1.0 0.0 0.0 5.7 5.9Boron compounds 2.1 1.7 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.4 0.3 0.0 0.0 1.7 1.4Total 260.7 301.3 9.9 10.5 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 29.5 36.4 140.1 143.6 81.2 110.8*1 The scope of calculation covers all of Akebono’s domestic production plants.
