Appropriate treatment of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) waste

PCB is an abbreviation for Poly Chlorinated Biphenyl, which is an artificially produced, mainly oily chemical substance.
Due to its convenience, PCBs have been used in various applications such as insulating oil for electrical equipment, heat transfer media for heat exchangers, and non-carbon paper. It has been reported that PCB gradually accumulates in the body and causes various symptoms. Currently, both manufacture and import are prohibited, and even in the products containing PCB currently in use, a disposal deadline is set and appropriate disposal is required. We are here.
For more information on PCBs, please refer to the website of the Ministry of the Environment.

Regarding the storage and disposal of PCB waste, we will notify the Tokyo Metropolitan Government of the storage and disposal status, etc. based on the "Act on Special Measures Concerning Promotion of Proper Treatment of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Waste" and the "Tokyo Guideline for Proper Management of PCBs." Please go.
There is a disposal deadline for PCB waste, and the disposal deadline differs depending on the type of PCB waste, so please check and dispose of it properly.
