Conclusion

Measures to PCBs should be taken in Japan

  • The law about PCBs was approved.
  • Mandatory registration for stored PCBs waste

But insufficient

  • No information on PCBs equipment currently in use
  • A lot of people do not know about PCBs issue

Necessary to proceed PCBs treatment

  • Only one treatment facility decided to be conducted
  • Need more treatment facilities

Finally

PCBs are widely polluting the environment. Creatures living in a region with no relation to human industrial world are even polluted.

Due to its hardness to decompose and remaining nature, ban of the use does not mean the end of pollution. Chemicals like PCBs should never be brought into our future world.

The worldwide cooperation about method of PCBs treatment, and information sharing is necessary.

PCB disposition have just begun in Japan and we want to do whatever we can do to promote the disposition.

Thank you for your listening!
