石綿因其絕熱、耐腐蝕等特性在民國60、70年代廣泛應用於各種建材，目前世界衛生組織(WHO)也已將其列為一級致癌物，而環保署也從民國78年將石綿列為公告毒性化學物質，直到民國95年，經濟部標準檢驗局公告禁止使用石綿建材。雖然石綿建材已完全禁用，但過往使用之石綿建材仍舊存在，尤其以石綿浪板為主，為協助石綿瓦屋頂空間分布調查以利後續拆除等相關政策制定，本計畫應用航遙測科技之高光譜影像、航拍影像、衛星影像並使用人工智慧 (Artificial Intelligence, AI) 以及機器學習方法自動辨識石綿瓦屋頂之空間分布，更利用地面高光譜儀器測試石綿瓦屋頂高光譜，並搭配合格石綿檢測實驗室進行定性定量檢測，用於驗證航遙測判釋之結果。計畫判釋結果匯入本案建置之網路版地理資訊系統-「波形石綿瓦屋頂空間分布系統」，提供後續地方政府以及基層人員進行拆除以及相關管理與管制之用。最後為使石綿危害等相關知識能夠普及，本計畫於計畫期間共辦理4場專家諮詢會議、5場石綿危害教育宣導會以及2場地理資訊系統教育訓練，均得到良好回饋，對於執行單位後續之相關業務推動有所幫助。

Asbestos had been widely used in a variety of building materials for its adiabatic and corrosion-resistant nature. However, medical research has found asbestos fibers to be harmful to the human health and the World Health Organization (WHO) currently classified asbestos as one of the primary carcinogens. Since 1989, the Environmental Protection Administration has also revised regulations to list asbestos as a declared toxic chemical substance. By 2006, asbestos was completely banned as a building material from BSMI (Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection). Nevertheless, earlier construction projects made of asbestos materials still remained in existence. In order to investigate the asbestos roofs in Taiwan, this project combined remote sensing technology (i.e. hyperspectral, aerial and satellite images) with artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify their distribution. Furthermore, ground-based hyperspectral imagers were also used to collect asbestos-related hyperspectral data. The asbestos roof tiles collected were tested qualitatively and quantitatively by asbestos laboratories. This project established a Web geographic information system (GIS)– the “Baseline Survey Map of Corrugated Wave Asbestos Roof Tiles” to help local governments demolish, manage, and regulate asbestos. Finally, this project organized four expert consultation meetings, five advocacy meetings, as well as two GIS education and training sessions to promote asbestos-related knowledge. Having received positive feedback, these sessions are expected to help facilitate the organizers’ relevant operations in the future.
