行政院環境保護署有鑑於毒化物管理與毒災應變工作正式成為政府重要施政的一環，為強化本項業務，積極辦理毒化物管理、防救與救災等工作，環保署於今年度建置規劃中，分別於全臺分區建置七個環境毒災應變隊，以協助進行災情評估與污染範圍界定，並提供安全處理建議。 本計畫於本年度主要工作項目為協助環保署維持環境毒災監控中心運作、北部環境毒災應變隊建置與運作以及協調業者成立毒災聯防應變支援團隊等工作內容為主，並藉由參與國內外技術交流會議，協助環保署強化整體國內毒災防救體系之能力。 截至97年02月29日為止，環保署環境毒災監控中心已完成145場次事故登錄與呈核工作，並協助署內執行多項毒災防救業務；在參與國外持久性有機污染物有關會議方面，於96年04月28日陪同環保署毒管處長官前往賽內加爾參與斯德哥爾摩公約第三屆締約國大會，除能瞭解各國針對POPs之工作外，更能推展我國環保外交之工作；在辦理國內毒災防救單位整訓工作，已完成整訓計畫，並於96年辦理四梯次之訓練，強化國內毒災防救人員之專業能力。 北部環境毒災應變隊方面，於96年度完成建置北區三隊毒災應變隊，截至97年02月29日為止，已完成69場次（121隊次）事故到場應變；在平時業務方面，北部環境毒災應變隊已完成90場次臨廠輔導、45場次無預警測試以及13場次毒災演訓等工作；在協調成立業界毒災聯防應變支援團隊方面，台北區、新竹區與宜蘭區皆已成立應變支援團隊。 由於毒性化學物質列管數量的增多，各界防災救災的需求漸趨多元化，期待此計畫之執行，環境毒災應變隊抵達事故現場之時間大幅提早，能為國內防災救援體系提供實質上的幫助，一方面減少事故發生後污染之擴散，另一方面期待更能降低毒化物災害之發生。

In view of the fact that management of toxic substances and affairs of emergency response has become one of the important topics for the government, Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) actively conducts affairs such as management of toxic substances, preparedness, and emergency responses to incidences to enhance the integrity of these affairs. Seven Emergency Response Teams have been established throughout different areas in Taiwan to implement the evaluation of incident and demarcation of pollution areas as well as to provide suggestions for safety response and treatment. The main works of this project in this fiscal year are those to assist EPA to operate the EPA Toxic Incident Command Center (EPATICC), to set up EPA Emergency Response Teams (EPAERT) in the northern region, to help toxic material owners to establish Toxic Incident Mutual Aid Teams and to help EPA strengthen the domestic toxic incident emergency response capability by attending national or international conferences on technologies relative to emergency response. Up till Mar. 29, 2008, the EPA Toxic Incident Command Center has filed a record of one hundred and forty-five incidents, assisted EPA to carry out many toxic disaster rescue services, and accompanied EPA officer to participate in the third meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP-3) of the Stockholm Convention in Senegal on the date of April 28. By means of the conference, methods regarding POPs from different countries were understood, and the environmental protection diplomacy work of our country was promoted. As for the joint training courses for domestic toxic disaster rescue units, the joint training plan has already been set up and training courses has been held four times to strengthen the specialized abilities of the toxic disaster personnel. This year, three Emergency Response Teams in the northern region have been established. Sixty-nine on-site emergency response (one hundred and twenty-one teams), ninety on scene audits, forty-five uninformed tests, and thirteen toxic incident exercises and drills have been executed. As for the Toxic Incident Mutual Aid Team, Taipei, Hsinchu and Yilan counties have already set up their teams. Due to the increasing quantities of restricted toxic chemical substances, diversity of the need in the field of preparedness and emergency response has been confirmed. By executing this project, specific assistances in the system of domestic preparedness and emergency response can be expected. Therefore, on the one hand, pollution diffusion after incidence occurred can be reduced on the other hand the occurrence of toxic materials incidents can be reduced more expectedly.
