Abstract:
In this paper we describe an emergency response system in Taiwan funded by the Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration and consisted of three local response centers held by the Industrial Technology Research Institute, National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, and National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology in the north, central, and south part of the island, respectively. The system is set up for the effective and efficient response to incidents involving toxic chemicals, and reducing the potential impact on the environment from these incidents. Case studies are also provided for the incidents. These incidents range from a fire in a chemical plant to a spillage from a tank truck on the road. The responded incidents are analyzed and possible root causes are identified and classified. The information provided should benefit areas with growing industrial development in developing strategies to prevent or reduce the potential impacts from chemical incidents. © 2004 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog 23: 206–213, 2004
