With the rapid development of technology and industry, chemical substances are widely used in various industries and daily life, leading to increasing impacts on the environment and human health. Green chemistry and a toxin-free environment have become essential components of global sustainable development. The Chemical Administration, Ministry of Environment (CHA) commissioned the Taiwan Environmental Sustainable Development Foundation (TESD FUND) to this project. This project continued to expand the chemical popular science knowledge database to include topics such as green chemistry, environmental sustainability, safer alternatives for chemical substances, and the environmental impacts of chemical life cycles. Thereby, the database could use to continuously promote green chemistry and a toxin-free environment. The project had achieving the following outcomes：
1. Completed the collection and analysis of domestic and international knowledge tools, software, databases, and systems related to chemical substance life cycle assessment (LCA), including 4 domestic standards, 4 international standards, 2 domestic databases, 5 international databases, 4 international commercial software tools, and 2 international tools.
2. Continuously expanded the database, adding a total of 627 questions (including answers and explanations) across different levels. Held two expert consultation meetings, inviting eight experts from elementary, junior high, high school, and university education fields to review the different levels of database. Based on their recommendations, the questions’ difficult levels were lowed, and some questions were included images alongside text for improved clarity. The database was subsequently updated and refined.
3. Trial activities were conducted at Taipei Municipal Tianmu Elementary School, New Taipei Municipal Fu-Sing Elementary School, New Taipei Municipal Bali Junior High School, New Taipei Municipal SanChong High School, and National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, with a total of 353 participants. Revisions were made to the database based on the trial results and feedback.
TESD FUND has successfully completed all project tasks to expand the database to provide explanations to various stakeholders, including industries, the public and students, about the life cycle of chemical substances, hazards, and environmental impacts. CHA continued to promote the concepts of proper chemical use in our daily life.
