Popis: 近二十年來,奈米科技以驚人之速度快速發展。透過奈米科技的研發,低耗能、高效率、抗腐蝕、抗菌等功能性產品將可對於建立資源永續社會做出莫大之貢獻。然而,在科學界仍不斷提出相關的文獻與實驗報告,指出奈米科技對於環境與人體健康可能之危害。雖然目前對奈米材料對於環境或健康的風險程度,因欠缺足夠背景資料或需要長時間追蹤觀察等理由,奈米科技是否構成環境或人體不良影響仍存有高度科學不確定性。基於生命無價的理念,政府仍有責任採取預防措施,以避免奈米科技產品對於環境健康可能之危害。本文將由法政策的觀點,檢視與分析我國目前既有法律架構,是否足以因應來自奈米科技潛在環境健康風險的挑戰。本文以生物科技發展之經驗為鑑,建議政府立即對奈米科技潛在環境健康風險採取預防性措施,並提供未來建構奈米科技風險管理規範之建議方向。 The rapid development of nanotechnology has changed the momentum of human civilization. Numerous nanoproducts in market are changing the way of life. The promise of nanotechnology has attracted intense investment in supporting nanotechnology development. Some scientists, however, are skeptical of the optimism of developing the nanotechnology in full speed. Some early studies suggest that many of these tiny nano-particles have unique ability to penetrate human body or to persist in the environment. Some even indicate that nanomaterials pose greater potential health hazards to conventional substances. Many commentators, however, criticize these studies for a lack of scientific certainty. The lesson from the development of biotechnology has indicated that postpone of any early regulatory intervention had lead to consumer mistrust. This article suggests that the government shall propose a plan for the establishment of nanotechnology legal framework. In order to prevent outrageous regulatory response to nanotechnology development, such as a total ban or taking no actions at all, this article suggests a stepby- step legal process based on the development of ongoing research in nanotoxicology.
