Abstract
Four tasks were carried out in this project, including:
(A) To prepare methods for Dioxins, and to review the first year execution strategy
1. Compilation and Analysis of current methods and laws and regulations applied in Taiwan and other countries for Dioxins control:
This project collected, compiled, evaluated and analyzed the following information:
The strategies, and relevant laws and regulations in Taiwan and other countries for Dioxin control
The flow and distribution of Dioxins all environmental media, and the strategy of countermeasures
The setting of goal of Dioxins control in all environmental
media, the methods for promoting these goals and effectiveness of these methods
The feasibility studies on the adoption of the strategies and the relevant laws and regulations for Dioxins control applied in other countries for Taiwan
2. Planning of a general strategy for Dioxin control in environmental media and compilation and review of the following items:
Dioxins control laws, regulations and strategy
Dioxins emission sources, and Dioxins flow and distribution in environmental media
Current Dioxins control methods
Strategy for total quantity control of environmental media
This project reviewed the domestic Dioxins control strategy of the first year, and provided amendment suggestion
This year, the project reviewed and amended the “Detailed List of National Dioxins Emission in year 2005(estimated in year 2006)”. Not only the discharge of industrial wastewater and sludge of newly established industries were estimated, the Dioxins emission quantities in incinerator ashes were updated. Furthermore, in accordance with the intensities of stationary pollution sources and the Dioxins contents (emission coefficients) as concluded in the project sponsored by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) in 2006, this project kept on establishing the Detailed List of National Dioxins Emission in year 2006.
This project also reviewed and analyzed domestic and foreign reports and papers of Dioxins emission during start-on/shut-down periods of incinerators. To strengthen the testing of Dioxins contents in incinerator ashes during start-on/shut-down periods of incinerators was suggested for the reference of future control measures.
This project also collected opinions from experts, scholars and officials from EPA and amended the “Dioxins Control and Reduction Measures (drafting)” for the EPA’s top guidance on the promotion of Dioxins integrated control.
3. Planning and establishment of both vertical and horizontal communication and reporting systems.
To prepare a reporting system reacting to future Dioxins pollutant events
To work out a standard operating procedure for tracing pollutant source and follow-up treatment method
To establish an information-conveying system between central and local governments for emergent Dioxins pollution events. To strengthen the vertical communication among environmental protection agencies for practical reacting activities
To assist the EPA in the drafting of the “Essentials of Reporting Procedures on the Reaction to Dioxins Pollution Events for Environmental Protection Agencies”
(B) To continuously promote the integrated information system, and to estimate the content, flow and distribution of Dioxins
1. Following the achievement of first year on the establishment of the integrated information management system, this project focused on the database improvement for this system in order to effectively master the status of Dioxins emission and pollution and to enhance the Dioxins control. Besides the amendment to the framework and content of information management system, this project also accomplished new functions such as, “message circulation”, “information integration” and “events communication”, for the system.
2. By using a feasible simulation mode, this project estimated the content, flow and distribution of Dioxins in environmental media, such as, “ISCST3 atmosphere diffusion mode”, “calculation method of the content, flow and distribution of Dioxins in environmental media” and etc., in Taiwan.
3. An area was selected to conduct the simulation of the flow and distribution of Dioxins for the feasibility study of the non-point pollution sources information management system. The impact evaluation on human health when exposure to Dioxins was conducted by the simulation mode for the flow and distribution of Dioxins in Kaohsiung area in 2006. In the simulation, there were two scenarios as below: (1)current status: to check the cancer risks among the residents nearby the existing Dioxins emission sources (2)potential situation: to assess the potential health risk of the residents exposed to Dioxins.
(C) To invite scholars, experts and officials from related agencies to exchange opinions and to coordinate and negotiate the results in cooperation with the relevant executing agencies
In order to study and prepare the draft of the “Essentials of Reporting Procedures on the Reaction to Dioxins Pollution Events for Environmental Protection Agencies,” two seminars were held to collect opinions among government agencies and industries. Scholars, experts, and officials from the EPA and local environmental protection bureaus were invited on October 15 and 18, 2007 respectively for exchanging opinions and providing suggestions on draft amendment.
(D) To assist the EPA in control, evaluation and study of Dioxins pollution control, and to collect international documents of Dioxins management
Besides assisting the EPA in control, evaluation and study on the emergency measures of Dioxins pollution, this project also collected and quoted the instant Dioxins information (latest news and relevant reports) and technical knowledge (common sense, relevant laws and regulations, and technical knowledge) in Taiwan and other countries for the reference of the EPA. In the meanwhile, this project also assisted the EPA in the preparation of press release, and in the handling and recording other assigned works and activities. These information and knowledge were inputted to “message bulletin board” and “laws and regulations knowledge database” in the integrated information management system. Through which, these information could be reached through internet or delivered to relevant personnel via email in order to promptly provide the newest Dioxins information to the public.
