Energy data Electricity consumption: 13,148,880 kWh/year Fuel consumption: 656 kl/year

*The fuel consumption values have been obtained by converting the consumptions of heavy oil, kerosene and fuel gas into the equivalent consumption of petroleum. For this purpose, the conversion coefficient for plants in Japan and overseas is the one mentioned in the regular report per "Law Concerning the Rational Use of Energy in Japan".

Waste volume data Total waste released: 149 t/year Annual mean recycling ratio: 100%

*"Recycling ratio" refers to a ratio of waste (including salable waste) sold or recycled to the total amount released (other than a waste that appears not to be coped with by the efforts of Murata).

Water quality data The management level is strictly enough to meet the target level.

Item Unit Target level Average Max value Hydrogen ion concentration (pH)   5.7-8.7 7.1 7.0-7.3 Suspended Solids (SS) mg/l 300 21 66 Copper mg/l 3 0.073 0.170 Soluble iron mg/l 10 N.D. 0.12 Cyanide mg/l 1 N.D. 0.04 Lead mg/l 0.1 N.D. N.D. Fluorine and its compounds mg/l 15 0.6 1.3 Boron and its compounds mg/l 50 0.7 4.3 Contents ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen mg/l 500 19.2 95.2 Nickel mg/l 5 0.2 0.7

*N.D. : not greater than minimum limit of determination (Not Detected) *Target levels are taken from the strictest values stipulated by laws, Fukui Prefecture regulations and Sabae city regulations. *Water quality data are the values measured at the final discharge point.

Air quality data The management level is strictly enough to meet the target level.

Item Unit Target level Average Max value Soot and dust g/Nm3 0.3 N.D. N.D. Nitrogen Oxides(NOx) ppm 260 122 160 Hydrogen Chloride mg/Nm3 80 3.1 3.1

*Target levels are taken from the strictest values stipulated by laws, Fukui Prefecture regulations and Sabae city regulations. *Air quality data are the values measured at the exhaust point.

Amount released or transported of substances to be subjected to PRTR (t/year)

Chemical compound name Amount released Amount transferred Atmosphere Public waters Soil Landfill Sewage Waste Recycling Nickel 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.06 Nickel compounds 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.19 Xylene 0.01 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.03

* The "amounts released or transported of substance subjected by PRTR" have been calculated in compliance with the PRTR law in Japan. The results have been rounded off to the order of 0.1 ton.
