Emission Data of Production Facilities

The following data for all works, plants and facilities of Kobe Steel and its major group companies covers exhaust gas and wastewater emissions as well as emissions or transfers of the main chemical substances covered by the PRTR Law. For exhaust gases the tables show emissions of NOx, dust and dioxins, and for wastewater chemical oxygen demand (COD), in some cases biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), suspended solids (SS), oil and dioxins. Regulation values are also given in all cases.
Air Quality Data
* Regulation values are based on the Air Pollution Control Law, prefectural government ordinances, and the Law Concerning Special Measures against Dioxins.
* Unit: ppm for NOx, mg/Nm3 for dust, and ng-TEQ/ Nm3 for dioxins.
Water Quality Data
* Regulation values are based on the Water Pollution Control Law, prefectural government ordinances, the Law Concerning Special Measures against Dioxins, the Sewage Water Law, and municipal government ordinances concerning sewage water.
* Unit: mg/l, pg-TEQ/l for dioxins
* ND (Not detected): Below the quantitative limit
Chemical substances
* Unit: kg (mg-TEQ for dioxins)
