The Management of Persistent Organic Pollutants and Promotion of Toxic Substance Release Calculation

Absrtact	The achievements made in this project included: 1) The latest international control strategies discussed at the ninth meeting of the Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee (POPRC9) to the Stockholm Convention were collected, and recommendations for control strategies of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were proposed to related administrative agencies in Taiwan. 2) National Implementation Plan of the Republic of China (R.O.C., Taiwan) under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (NIP) working-group meetings were held to gather the achievements made by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), Ministry of Health and Welfare, Council of Agriculture and Ministry of Economic Affairs on the National Report of POPs in 2013. 3) The Persistent Organic Pollutants Website were updated and expanded in accordance with the control strategies of domestic and Stockholm Convention along with the establishment of the “intergovernmental Website” to release governmental information and achievement. Additionally, 21,842 entries of analysis data of dioxins were posted in this website. 4) This project has accomplished 82 on-site Consultation on toxic substance release reporting and1,843 entries of deficient report have improved. This project also performed discuss of chemical concentration exposure measurement of process discharge of toxic substance in 20 samples. The release factor of toxic substance was estimated based on chemicals measured. In addition, the function of 7 entries of the release reporting system has been improved along with the establishment of the statistics function of the Toxic Substance Release Reporting System. 5) Drafted the “Promotion plan for implemetation of Minamata Convention of United Nations”, which serves as the basis for domestic implementation. Additionally, the EPA held a forum and invited several experts to participate regarding the mercury management, and established an information web site to enhance public awareness of mercury。
