溫室效應發威 阿根廷大冰川首見冬季崩塌

法新社布宜諾斯艾利斯七日電) 科學家與環保人士今天指出,阿根廷摩利諾冰川的一片巨大冰堤,將首次在南半球冬季出現崩塌,元兇很可能是全球溫室效應。 這片冰牆是巴塔哥尼亞高地主要觀光景點之一,阻礙阿根廷湖部分湖水,高約六十公尺,每隔一至數年不等便會出現壯觀崩塌景象,不過向來只發生在夏季。 冰川國家公園表示:「這是冰川首次在冬季崩落,可能與全球溫室效應有關,氣溫節節攀升影響冰塊摩擦力。」 摩利諾冰川是世界最大冰川之一,面積達二百七十五平方公里,出口寬度達五公里,位於首都布宜諾斯艾利斯東南方二千八百公里。

限用物質法規-消費品中的双酚A (BPA)

限用物質法規-消費品中的双酚A (BPA) BPA可以從產品中析出到接觸物中,有研究表明人體中的BPA主要是透過食物攝入。鑒于BPA的潛在危害,不少國家和地區製定了相關的限用法規。 產品範圍涵蓋︰ 1. 遷移量限制︰歐盟、美國、中國、日本等國家對與食品接觸的材料限定了BPA的遷移量(溶出量)。 2. 總量限制︰加拿大正擬製定禁止進口和銷售含有BPA成分產品的法規,原定于2008年1月1日生效的挪威PoHS更是限制了BPA在消費品中的使用。  危害BPA是一種內分泌干擾物質,會引起類似雌性激素的生理效應,長期接觸有可能會引起慢性中毒。有研究認為BPA進入人體后會增加患乳腺癌、攝擭腺癌的風險,其中對嬰幼兒的危害尤為嚴重︰會破壞荷爾蒙,引起基因突變,有可能引起女孩性早熟,並導致生育能力下降、精神紊亂等症狀。

REACH SVHC screening please match your product

REACH SVHC screening please check your products According to the Registration, Evaluation, Restriction and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) regulations, substances of very high concern (SVHC) are hazardous substances that need to be controlled in addition to restricted substances (Appendix XVII). They are Category 1 and 2 carcinogenic, mutagenic, reproductive toxic substances (Cat. 1 and 2 CMR); persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic substances (PBT); highly persistent, bioaccumulative substances (vPvB) or substances of equal concern (e.g. endocrine disrupting substances). Due to the complexity of supply chains and production processes, SVHCs may be inadvertently introduced into a wide variety of consumer products. In order to ensure the competitiveness of products in the market, European companies have begun to require their suppliers to provide the results of testing the SVHC of their products. Authorization To encourage the use of safe and environmentally friendly chemicals, some SVHCs have been prioritized in the authorization process. Those SVHCs listed in Annex XIV will no longer be allowed to be sold on the market or imported into Europe after the date is set, unless the company has been authorized. In June 2009, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) will publish the authorization list for the first time and will strictly review it every two years. Notification For products containing any SVHC exceeding 0.1% (w/w) and produced or imported in total quantities exceeding 1 metric ton per year, the manufacturer or importer must notify the European Chemistry Council.

Overview of Hazardous Substances (HS) Control Methods in the Electronic Components Industry

電子元器件行業中有害物質(HS)控制方法概述 關鍵詞︰有害物質HS,無有害物質HSF,HS清單,供應商和材料風險 前    言 2006年7月1日開始,歐盟的RoHS指令正式生效。該指令對于世界各國有產品拋放到歐盟市場的電子電器設備製造商、供應商、貿易商等產生廣泛而深遠的影響。歐盟是中國是電子電器產品主要退場門到達站,RoHS指令對中國電子電器行業的影響非常大,有資料表明,這種影響可達數百億美元。 隨著世界各國和地區對有害物質(Hazardous Substance,簡稱HS)的限量要求的法規越來越多,如︰歐盟的包裝指令、汽車生命中止指令(ELV),韓國和中國等國家也相繼出台有害物質限量相關法規,對有害物質控制提出了新的要求。違反有害物質方面的要求,可能涉及違法而被指控。 電子元器件(如IC、三極管、二極體、晶振、電感、電容、電阻和變壓器等)是電子電器產品的基礎,由於其應用廣泛.。生產商即使不直接將其產品銷售到歐盟國家,但也難保其產品最終不會退場門到歐盟市場。因此,只要具有一定規模的電子元器件企業,不管是設計、生產和貿易企業,都需要包括歐盟RoH

電池指令2006/66/EC問答集彙整(II)

電池指令2006/66/EC問答集彙整(II)                                             NO.22/2008 電池生產者的定義根據指令中的第三條款,「生產者」意指在會員國領域內首次製造或提供第三方電池/蓄電池者(含使用於家電/車輛)。此定義與販售技巧且電池是否有無回收費用無關。 電池生產者 – 範例電池製造商或國內進口商,販買電池給零售業者並轉賣給會員國境內的使用者 (end-users)電池製造商或國內進口商是首次提供電池於市面上的人,因此他們是生產者。 零售業者於會員國內販售從其會員國 (境外) 購入的電池零售業者販賣在其他國家所購入的電池給會員國內的使用者。此零售業者是首次提供電池於會員國市場上販售的人,所以零售業者即為生產者。

電池指令2006/66/EC問答集彙整( I ) NO.21/2008

電池指令2006/66/EC問答集彙整( I ) NO.21/2008 自2006年9月26日起正式生效的電池指令2006/66/EC適用於所有市場銷售的電池/蓄電池。根據規定,會員國應於2008年9月26日之前將此指令轉化為其國內法令。歐盟在2008年4月再度更新其問答集內容,日後也將不定期更新。 指令中的防禦措施(Preventive measures)此項指令限制所有電池中汞的使用。另外也限制可攜式電池中鎘的使用,但是用於緊急和警報系統的可攜式電池被列為排外。 電池收集規定 電池指令的目標為大量收集廢棄電池/蓄電池。 消費者應該在免費和無須購買新電池的情形下將廢棄可攜式電池帶回至收集站 批發商業者在販售電池時應收集廢棄電池 工業電池的製造商有其責任從終端使用者手上收集工業電池 車輛電池的製造商應針對沒有透過ELV指令下收集的廢棄車輛電池成立收集方案 電池回收處理規定。所有收集起來的電池都需回收處理。然而、會員國可將含有汞、鎘、或是鉛的廢棄電池在下列兩種情況下以掩埋方式處理。 經過衝擊評估後的淘汰( phase out )重金屬國家策略為以廢棄掩埋方式取代回收處理 沒有可執行的終端

The latest progress of the revision of RoHS and WEEE directives No.18/2008

The latest progress of the revision of the RoHS and WEEE directives No. 18/2008 On April 10, 2008, the European Union Technical Adaptation Committee (TAC) held a meeting on the review of the RoHS and WEEE directives in Brussels. The main purpose of this meeting is to inform member states of the latest progress in the review of the two directives, as well as relevant information on the new RoHS exclusion project. The RoHS Committee has published the results of its second stakeholder consultation and issued responses and summaries of each item in the consultation. The committee published a draft decision on seven new exclusionary items and a proposal to remove one old exclusionary item. After discussion, the committee will accept comments from member states before May 9, and will then vote in accordance with procedures. The research related to the new substances will be finalized by Oko Institut before the end of June. The Commission announced the judgment of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) regarding decabromodiphenyl ether (Deca BDE). The European Court of Justice ruled that this exclusionary project should be revoked before June 30, and electronic and electrical products sold in Europe after July 1 must not contain Deca BDE. The WEEE Committee attached a stakeholder consultation questionnaire to the WEEE review materials and stopped collecting questionnaires on June 5. The results are scheduled to be announced in the fall. The Committee reminds Member States that Article 1
