The main work of this project includes “Consult the management mechanism of advanced country and international convention, plan the management framework of toxic substance”, “Investigate the purpose and utilization as well as review and analyze the hazard, implement the field guidance at the operation place”, “Promote source reduction and guide the reduction, study the hazard and control of vinyl chlorine and epichlorohydrine, execute the guidance for reduction of nonyl phenol and asbestos and implement the field guidance at the operation place” and “Collect relevant international relevant utilization and control regulations and information, assess relevant measures of restriction”. The major work achievement is summarized as follows:
Consult the management mechanism of advanced country and international convention, plan the management framework of toxic substance:
Invite scholars and experts to make up “Total Framework Planning Team” in this year, four sessions of meeting have to be completed, and the following contents of work have been discussed and examined in the meeting:
Characterization for the hazardous information of toxic substance
Content for the introduction on the risk of toxic substance and the information needed to be submitted
Report on social economy of toxic substance and social economy needed to be considered
Total assessment for the management framework of toxic substance in the whole country
Consult the Annex E of “Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutant” to set up “Introduction on the Risk of Toxic Chemical Substance”. Revise the content of Item (6) of Annex E into “Risk Description”, strengthen the content of Item (7) of Annex E, and add the description of domestic regulations. As for basic information, the relevant information of “Toxic Chemical Substance Consulting Committee” of Environmental Protection Administration will be used as the unified edition without collecting other information. The “Risk Introduction” of polychlorinated biphenyl (00101 PCB), mercury (02201), di(2-ethylhexyl phthalate (06801 DEHP) and nonyl phenol (NP) has been completed in this project.
Consult the Annex F of “Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutant” to set up the content scheme of “Edit the Report on Social Economy of Toxic Substance”, and consult its guidance directive: According to the assessment guidance of social economy (draft) specified in “Stockholm Convention”, illustrate the execution way and items required to be considered by the assessment of social economy.
Upon checking the permitted purpose of utilization and the information of permit, it is found that 180 kinds of toxic substance have been already announced in 123 restricted substances. In 1412 combinations of toxic substance, over 96% of them does not have relevant manufacturing permit, and over 82% of them does not have relevant import permit. It is judged that it may not reach the operation basis of large amount, so only the registration documents and permit documents of local competent authority are applied.
Investigate the purpose and utilization as well as review and analyze the hazard, implement the field guidance at the operation place:
Screen, check and analyze the content of toxic substance management database, and confirm the purpose use for the operation of actual reporting.
Select 10 kinds of toxic substance with relatively high operating amount, which include asbestos, ethylene oxide, epichlorohydrine, benzene, vinyl chlorine, chromated copper arsenate, methyl tert-butyl ether, di(2-ethylhexyl phthalate, phthalic anhydride, and allyl alcohol. The guidance session for the reduction of these 10 kinds of toxic substance has already been finished by October 5, and 2 scholars or experts participate in every session.
Except the chromated copper arsenate and di(2-ethylhexyl phthalate, there are no suitable substitution products for other 8 kinds of toxic substance, to reduce the utilization amount of toxic substance.
6 sessions of seminar, symposium and demonstration meeting for the restriction of toxic substance have been held. A round table meeting for asbestos was held on June 26. A regulation demonstration meeting was held in Yielan on October 24. Two regulation demonstration meetings were held in Kaohsiung County on November 6. Two regulation demonstration meetings were held in Hsinchu County on November 13.
Promote source reduction and guide the reduction, study the hazard and control of vinyl chlorine and epichlorohydrine, execute the guidance for reduction of nonyl phenol and asbestos and implement the field guidance at the operation place:
Finish the collection of the production (such as raw material, process), discharge of pollutant and hazard control framework of vinyl chlorine and epichlorohydrine, and create the execution scheme for the assessment of life cycle of vinyl chlorine and epichlorohydrine.
The questionnaires were sent to 113 nonyl phenol operation firms to investigate their operation amount and operation purpose. 44 questionnaires were recovered, wherein 23 firms were operating and 21 firms were not operating. The recovery rate was 38.94%. As for other firms, 16 firms were not operating. About 53.1% of firms were under control.
Conduct the reduction guidance for nonyl phenol and asbestos at the operation place: 6 sessions of reduction guidance have been completed. After field investigation, some firms have stopped the production of nonyl phenol and nonyl phenol polyethoxy alcohol or used the substitution product to reduce the amount. When the performance of substitution product is raised and the price is reduced, it will assist the reduction of nonyl phenol polyethoxy alcohol. Some firms have developed new process without using the asbestos, so it will be feasible to use non-asbestos product to substitute asbestos product. The development for the substitution product of asbestos has close relationship to its competitiveness in the consuming market, and it will affect the reduction efficiency of asbestos product.
Conduct “Chrysotile International Scientific Workshop”: The “Chrysotile International Scientific Workshop” was held in Taipei Howard International House on June 28. The Canadian and Japanese experts and scholars were invited to discuss the restriction topics of asbestos. The information will be used as the reference for the follow-up of relevant policy.
Collect relevant international relevant utilization and control regulations and information, assess relevant measures of restriction:
After collecting and reviewing the toxicity, physical and chemical properties of bisphenol A and arsine, it is not able to determine whether bisphenol A and arsine should be restricted according to the screening principle of toxic chemical substance specified in the regulations, and it is recommended to put them into the tracking list
During the execution of project, help the Department of Environmental Sanitation and Toxic Substance Management, Environmental Protection Administration to deal with many instant businesses, and 49 items of work were completed by November 15.
Establish the internal quality control review committee, to review the preliminary draft of mid-term and final report, and 3 sessions of consulting meeting were held for the internal quality control review committee.
Finish to collect and respond the information of asbestos, chromated copper arsenate, total fluorine carboxylic compound, and nonyl phenol etc.
Put the electronic information of the achievement into the webpage in accordance with the project classification.
Finish the update of the following regulations: USA TSCA, USA EPCRA, European Union REACH, European Union 76/769/EEC, Canada CEPA, Canada NPRI, Japan Chemical Review Act, Japan Toxic Substance Act, the Global Harmonization System GHS, the Stockholm Convention, the Basel Convention.
Hold the “Pesticides Management and Ash Treatment International Workshop”:
Help to hold the “Pesticides Management and Ash Treatment International Workshop” from November 28 to December 2.
