Education training on the handling of toxic and hazardous substances
National Chiayi University has established a complete toxic and hazardous waste management framework that covers policy, storage, transportation, treatment, and education and training, ensuring that all toxic waste generated on campus is properly managed and 100% treated every year.
The detailed implementation is described as follows:
Policy and Oversight
NCYU implements a comprehensive toxic waste management system in full compliance with national environmental regulations.
The Toxic and Concerned Chemical Substances Management Committee (TCCSMS) supervises all operations, holds quarterly meetings, and provides regular training on toxic substance handling.
2. Sources of Toxic Waste
Pesticides and herbicides are strictly prohibited on campus.
Main sources include chemical laboratories generating waste such as heavy metals, solvents, and biohazardous materials.
3. Collection and Storage
All toxic waste is properly classified, labeled, and stored by trained personnel following the Chemical Compatibility Chart.
Liquid waste is stored in 20-liter HDPE containers and transferred to temporary secure storage when 80% full.
4. Transportation and Treatment
Certified technicians transport the waste via GPS-tracked vehicles to the Environmental Resource Management Center at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU).
NCYU allocates approximately USD 7,000 annually for professional treatment services.
All (100%) toxic waste is processed and disposed of through licensed facilities.
5. Biological and Radiological Waste Management
Biohazardous waste is autoclaved before disposal.
Five X-ray machines used for teaching and research are inspected and managed annually in accordance with Atomic Energy Council (AEC) regulations.
6. Documentation and Monitoring
All waste movements are documented and reported online to the Environmental Protection Bureau.
Records of treatment are maintained for verification and audits.
Achievement
In 2024, 100% of NCYU’s toxic waste was properly treated, qualifying the university under the “Extensive (>85% treated)” category.
