ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING ◆ Improving <strong>Environmental</strong> Monitoring Fujifilm monitors wastewater quality, groundwater quality, and the content of boiler exhaust gases. This is primarily to confirm whether contaminants are present, but Fujifilm also conducts detailed soil surveys to detect the presence of materials for which there is no record of use in the area, as per Ministry of the Environment guidelines for the improvement of environmental monitoring. It was confirmed that there is no soil contamination at the Asaka Research Laboratory, Miyanodai Technology Development Center, Fujinomiya Factory, or Yoshida-Minami Factory. Testing is currently in progress at the Odawara Factory and Ashigara Factory. We have also conducted a complete reevaluation of our observation wells and are adding wells that can be carefully monitored, as well as retesting the quality of groundwater. 24 In addition, in areas surrounding factories dealing with materials subject to PRTR reporting standards, monitoring of the atmospheric density of PRTR chemicals has begun. <strong>The</strong>se measurements have shown results well within acceptable environmental standards. Fujifilm will continue this monitoring of the atmospheric density of pollutants. Results of Water Quality Survey for Drainage Water (Odawara Factory) Fujifilm is also improving the environmental monitoring carried out by its affiliated companies. As a result of this monitoring, it was discovered that levels of organochlorine solvents in the groundwater on the site of Fuji Photo Optical Co., Ltd., had exceeded environmental standards. In October 2000, we made a report to the local authorities and explained the situation to the residents of the area, and purification measures are currently being undertaken.
