英文摘要 |
The general aim of this report has been to review management, regulations, and experiences in the commercial use of microbial agents in other developed/developing nations with the goal of preparing recommendations for the Taiwan EPA in the management of such agents. The report consists of three major parts.
Part one is a comprehensive survey and an in-depth assessment of current management systems of microbial agents of the following nations: United States, Canada, European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Singapore, People’s Republic of China and Republic of China. The information collected demonstrates that regulations of microbe control agent for agriculture utilization are stringent and well defined, similar to the chemical insecticide and pesticide regulation in most developed countries.
The microbes for pollution control and prevention are naturally occurring and have less impact on humans or the environment. Therefore, the approval process for commercialization by Responsible Agencies is less rigorous. Lists of environmental forbidden usage microorganisms and non-regulated microorganisms have been provided in most countries. As such, the above comprehensive review demonstrates that present regulation of microbial agents for pollution control and prevention in Taiwan is harmonized with international standards.
The second part of this project has been to gather information on how and where the responsible agencies in Japan, Singapore, People’s Republic of China and Republic of China have been conducting their assessment of microbial agents for pollution control and prevention. These data will increase the EPA policy makers’ understanding of the current development and use of microbe control agents.
The third part of this project has been to gather data on outbreak emergency control from the above countries to assist the EPA in developing adequate emergency control protocols for Taiwan.
