Figures presented above exclude substances for which the annual handling volume is less than 1 ton. However, nickel compounds and other substances designated as Class I specified compounds are included, if their
annual handling volume amounts to 500 kg or more.
In step with the enactment of the Sixth Total Emission Control Standards, regulatory limits for emissions at the Hanyu facilities (total nitrogen and total phosphorus) and Iwatsuki facilities (COD, total nitrogen and total
phosphorus) were revised.
Accordingly, regulatory limits presented above are as of fiscal 2009.
