Seminar on Chemical Substances and the Environment (FY2020)

　Yokohama City and Kawasaki City are working to share information on chemical substances and the environment with citizens and businesses to reduce the environmental risks of chemical substances. Every year, we hold seminars for citizens and businesses, but in fiscal 2020, in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, we changed the method and transmitted information.

　Every year, the seminar is held in cooperation with Kawasaki City, but in fiscal 2020, in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the two cities will be seen from the PRTR data and presentation materials on new chemical substance initiatives in Kawasaki City were released on the web.

• Characteristics of Kawasaki City and Yokohama City viewed from PRTR Data -From data from FY2018
• Future Chemical Substance Measures in Kawasaki City

Please see on Kawasaki-shi homepage "2020 chemical substance measures seminar" (outside site).
