Regarding proper disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) waste

PCB is an abbreviation for Polychlorinated Biphenyl, an artificially produced, mainly oily chemical substance.
Due to their high convenience, PCBs have been used for a variety of purposes, such as as insulating oil in electrical equipment, as a heat transfer medium in heat exchangers, and in carbonless paper. However, because they are easily soluble in fat, they have been reported to gradually accumulate in the body with chronic ingestion, causing a variety of symptoms. Currently, both their manufacture and import are prohibited, and disposal deadlines have been set for PCB-containing products currently in use, requiring appropriate disposal.
For more information about PCBs, please see the Ministry of the Environment website.

Regarding the storage and disposal of PCB waste, notification of storage and disposal status, etc. must be submitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government based on the "Act on Special Measures Concerning Promotion of Proper Treatment of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Waste" and the "Tokyo Metropolitan PCB Proper Management Guidance Guidelines." Please go.
PCB waste has a disposal deadline, and the disposal deadline varies depending on the type of PCB waste, so please check before disposing of it properly.

High concentration PCB waste (stabilizers, contaminated materials, etc.) March 31, 2020
