The chemical substances subjected to the PRTR system are defined as “Class I Designated Chemical Substance” under the Act on Confirmation, etc. of Amounts of Release of Specific Chemical Substances in the Environment and Promotion of Improvements to the Management Thereof.
“Class I Designated Chemical Substance” is considered to continuously exist in the environment of a considerably wide area judging from its physical and chemical properties, volume of its manufacture, import and usage, and poses a risk of being harmful to human health and ecosystem (including ozone-depleting risk). The number of “Class I Designated Chemical Substance” now totals 462. Within these “Class I Designated Chemical Substance,” 15 chosen substances are designated as “Specific Class I Designated Chemical Substance.” The reporting requirements for these 15 substances are especially stringent.
