| 摘要 | From 21 to 23 May 2024, the Ministry of Environment (MOENV) held the ?aiwan-Sweden chemical substance preventive control training ??Action plan for a non-toxic everyday environment and PFAS management training program?? Three senior officers from the Swedish Chemicals Agency (KEMI) and a chemicals management specialist were invited to Taiwan to speak on topics such as the management of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Taking the issues of PFAS and chemical substance management very seriously, Dr. Chi-Ming Peng, Minister of Environment, gave a speech at the training venue in person, saying that he hoped this event will serve to improve exchanges between the two countries regarding chemical substance management, and that the MOENV would learn from Swedish PFAS management experiences to improve Taiwan? PFAS management strategies. |
| 全文 | The MOENV pointed out that this training was part of the ?ational Chemical Substance Management Board??event series and covered: the ?ction plan for a non-toxic everyday environment, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) management?? an introduction to the regulations under the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH Regulations) of the EU; experiences in implementing regulations on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP Regulations), and; an introduction to new hazard classifications. The MOENV stated that Sweden has more than a decade of experience in promoting its Action Plan, a national level program dedicated to reducing the risks of hazardous chemical substances to human health and the environment. The plan? central concept is that ?he substances created or extracted by humans in the environment shall never threaten human health or biodiversity.??In Taiwan, the same efforts are being exerted to promote the non-toxic action plan. Hopefully, these precious experiences will be learned directly from KEMI experts through this program and combined with Taiwan? unique conditions for the continuous development of our own non-toxic action plan. The MOENV pointed out that there are more than 10,000 PFAS substances as defined by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). As a cooperative effort under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (the Stockholm Convention), Taiwan has included perfluorooctane sulfonate, lithium perfluorooctane sulfonate, perfluorooctane sulfonate fluoride, perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorohexane sulfonate and their salts and related compounds in the Appendix A elimination list. These substances are now Class I toxic chemical substances with management regulations established for their uses. As one of the five countries proposing the full-scale PFAS management legislation in EU, Sweden has years of experience in PFAS management. Hopefully, this event will help Taiwan improve its PFAS management system. The MOENV pointed out that chemical substance labeling is an important part of preventive management. Proper labeling helps reduce the risks of using chemicals improperly. At this event, Swedish experts were invited to share their experiences in the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, which in turn will help Taiwan stay in line with international chemicals management regulations. Minister Peng gave his speech and expected that the training at this event would encourage interactions between KEMI and MOENV, help Taiwan develop its own PFAS management policy and national non-toxic action plan, and complete Taiwan? chemical substance management strategies and systems to align its chemicals management mechanisms with the world. |
