　 What　is　 ＰＲＴＲ system　?

ＰＲＴＲ is an abbreviation of Pollution Release and Transfer Register

PRTR is a system for government to annually compile and officially announce information regarding the release of chemical substances into the environment as well as the transfer of them.

1984 Accident in a chemical plant in Bhobar, India (Chemical substances in large quantity released into the air.)1992 PRTR system was paid attention in the action plan “Agenda 21” adopted by the “Earth Summit”.1996 OECD recommended member countries to introduce & implement PRTR.1999 The Law regarding promulgated The Law Concerning Reporting etc. of Releases to The Environment of Specific Chemical Substances and Promoting Improvements.2001 The law regarding PRTR system was activated

　 What to notify by target business operators

数値の算出方法

① Method　using　revenue　&　expenditure　of　substances　　 Use　the　difference　between　amount　coming　in　and　going　out　of　business　

operator

② Method　using　actual　measurement　　 Measure　on-site　concentrations　of　exhaust　gas　and　effluent　water,　then,　　 　 　 　 multiply　 the　measured　 values　 by　 amounts　 of　 exhaust　 gas　 and　 effluent　

water

③ Method　using　effluent　coefficient　　 Multiply　handling　amount　(amount　used　by　business　operator)　by　effluent　

coefficient　　　　　(portion　estimated　to　be　released　into　the　environment)

④ Method　 using　 values　 specific　 to　 specific　 physical　 properties　 of　 certain　chemical　substances

　　 Multiply　effluent　and　release　amounts　by　values　of　physical　properties　(values　that　can　fix　the　amount　of　chemical　substance　contained,　such　as　steam　pressure,　solubility,　etc.)

⑤ 　 Other　calculation　methods　that　can　give　accurate　calculated　values10

　 Calculation of Release Amount and Transfer Amount

Release and transfer amounts can be calculated usingone of the following 5 calculation methods

（ Source:　 ＰＲＴＲ Manual　on　calculation　of　release　amount ）

　 Release　apart　from　target　business　operators　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　(Estimation　by　central　government)

Central government estimate and officially announce release amount from non-target business operators, mobile entities such as automobiles, and households

Among target business operators required for notification, business operators with their number of employees less than 21 Among target business operators, business operators with their annual handling amount of chemical substances is less than 1 tonnage Types of business exempted from notifying: construction industries, food & beverages industries, agriculture, etc. Household ： Release accompanied by the use of insect repellants, paints, herbicides, insecticides, detergents Mobile entities (transportation) ： automobiles, bicycles, vessels, trains, airplanes

Region/area-wiseindicators such aspopulation, the use of land

For　the　purpose　of　proper/appropriate　control　and　management　of　chemical　substances,　etc.,　　the　availability　of　information　regarding　their　toxicities/hazards　as　well　as　handling　procedures/process　are　required.

It　is　relatively　easier　to　obtain　information　from　manufacturers　of　chemical　substances　on　toxicities/hazards　of　chemicals.　　However,　chemical　substances　manufacturers　are　usually　reluctant　to　provide　those　information　at　the　time　of　business　dealings.

ＳＤＳ assures　the　dissemination　of　necessary　information　for　voluntary　control/management　of　chemical　substances.　 （ Assure　the　safety　of　workers 　→　 Promote　the　manufacturing　of　safe　products　and　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　proper　environmental　management ）

■ At　the　time　when　potentially　hazardous　chemical　substances　and　products　containing　these　chemical　substances　are　handed　over　or　provided　to　other　business　operators,　then,　SDS　mandates　business　operators　to　provide　information　regarding　properties　of　related　chemical　substances　and　the　ways　of　handling　them.
