Reducing the environmental burden

Throughout the Asahi Kasei Group we strive to alleviate the environmental impact of our activities ranging from procurement and use of raw materials to disposal, in order to help preserve the local and global environment.

Main environmental aspects, FY 2010

Preventing air pollution

The Asahi Kasei Group undertakes a number of measures to curtail emissions of sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and soot and dust. While emissions are consistently maintained well below regulatory limits, as shown at right, we also have more stringent emissions standards as set forth in accord with local authorities and our own voluntary targets.

  • SOx emissions
  • NOx emissions
  • Soot and dust emissions

Note: At some sites, regulation by total pollutant amount applies for some pollutants in addition to concentration limits. Permissible levels shown are the sums of gross emission limits where they apply and concentration limits times amount of emitted gas where they do not. Permissible levels therefore fluctuate from year to year with fluctuations in production volumes.
