Abstract
Non-pesticide persistent organic pollutants (POPs) under the Stockholm Convention include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers
(PBDEs), polybromobiphenyls (PBBs) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), which are industrial chemicals and/or
unintentional byproducts that remain in the environment, bioaccumulate in human and animal tissue through the food chain, and
have adverse effects on human health and the environment. The objectives of this paper were to present the environmental
properties, sources and toxicity of the non-pesticide POPs and their occurrence and environmental distribution in Taiwan. The
success of significant reduction of non-pesticide POPs in Taiwan has been ascribed to the National Implementation Plan (NIP)
and the regulatory infrastructure, which have been established by the joint-venture of the central competent authorities, including the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), the Department of Health (DOH), the Council of Agriculture (COA), the Council of Labor Affairs (CLA) and the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA). From the monitoring data on the non-pesticide
POPs in ambient air, river water, and sediment/soil, and their emission inventories from major sources, the potential risk exposed
to these chemicals showed a declining trend over the past decade. The significant progress in reducing the emissions of
PCDDs/PCDFs from the stationary sources was also analyzed as a case study in the paper.
