In principle substances for which the amount handled is less than one ton per year are not included;however substances marked by double asterisks (**) have been included in the chart and amounts exceeding 0.5 ton per year are indicated.Triethylamine was designated and included in the calculations from fiscal 2010.Amounts of water-soluble zinc compounds in fiscal 2010 presented in the above chart were revised accompanying the exclusion of metallic zincs due to the change in definition of watersolublezinc compounds.’02 ’06 ’07 ’08 ’09 ’10 ’11Atmosphere Rivers(t) (t)Emission Volume of PRTR Designated Substances (atmosphere and rivers) Amount Transported (waste)Transported amountTransported amountEmission volume (atmosphere and rivers)(FY)05101520025507510012517.72.445.917.715.312.92.5 1.99.1 9.610.60.0 0.0 0.0 0.027.6 23.8 22.5 26.5 24.1 23.0*In fiscal 2011 the amount transported was revised accompanying the exclusion ofmetallic zincs due to the change in definition of water-soluble zinc compoundsReduction of Hazardous Chemical SubstancesThe PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) is thelegal system obliging business operators who handle potentiallyhazardous chemical substances to identify collate anddisclose information on such substances including data onwhere the substances are generated and emitted andwhether the substances are transported off premisesmixed with waste.The Pollutant Release and Transfer Law (PRTR Law) forthe Promotion of Chemical Management which is the basisof the above system requires such business operators torecord the amount of such substances they handle emitand transport. In April 2001 354 substances were listed asClass I Designated Chemical Substances requiring surveysand reports to business operators. A revision of the lawenacted in October 2009 further extended the scope of listedsubstances to 462 and established 100 Class IIDesignated Chemical Substances. Business operators handlingor manufacturing designated chemical substancesmust monitor the amount of such substances that are emittedinto the environment as well as the amount transportedoff premises in waste or sewage water for disposal. Also these matters must be annually reported to the competentauthorities.To reduce emissions of such chemical substances Akebono has been introducing powdered paints as well aspaints that contain lower amounts of organic solvents. As aresult the Company’s emission volume of PRTR designatedsubstances decreased 46% to 9.6 tons in fiscal 2011 comparedwith 17.7 tons in fiscal 2002 the year PRTR law wasenforced. In addition Akebono completely abolished theuse of hexavalent chromium at all its bases in 2007.Fiscal 2011 Emission Volume of PRTR Designated Chemical SubstancesInitiatives at the Production Stage
