摘要

台灣由於腹地狹小，工業區與住宅區毗鄰而居，居民往往曝露在污染環境中，台塑仁武廠於民國99年4月28日公告為土壤及地下水污染整治場址，為確立仁武廠周界民眾與潛在受體之暴露狀況，本研究針對仁武廠周界居民進行健康評估調查，採問卷方式進行，自民國100年11月24日至101年3月8日在竹後里里長服務處、中華里里民活動中心、五和里里民活動中心及八德路上便利商店進行問卷訪談，一共收集157份問卷，其中有125份有效問卷。依照居民提供個人(包含: 生活習慣、健康醫療史)的問卷，彙整參數後以SPSS 12.0 ( Statistics Package for Social Science 12.0版)進行統計分析，並利用卡方檢定(Chi-square test)分析三個里別之間的個案生活習慣、健康醫療史之差異。調查結果顯示，三個里的居民在疾病上的統計分析，並未有明顯差異，分析其原因可能是自來水普及，且居民未直接接觸或飲用地下水。依環保署風險評估手冊，將居民年齡層分成大於等於12歲及小於12歲的作法，明顯與一般流行病學的分類方式不同，有可能因為年齡層分類上，產生分析上的誤差(Bias) 。另外，本研究的個案數太少，也可能是影響本研究結果的因素之一。雖然本研究結果在健康上的差異並不明顯，但仁武廠附近的居民，長期居住於污染場址周界，健康的狀況仍需長期追蹤與持續關注。

A petrochemical plant located at Renwu in Formorsa Plastics Group had been announced as a remediation site by Taiwanese Environment Protection Administration. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the exposure risk of the residents nearby the petrochemical plant. This study investigated health outcomes in the residents nearby the Renwu petrochemical plant. Structured Questionnaires including personal information, resident history, socioeconomic status, life styles, and disease history were used in this study between November 2011 and Mar 2012. One hundred fifty seven questionnaires were collected in three lis, but only 125 questionnaires were available for the further analysis. Statistics Package for Social Science 12.0 version was used in this study. Based on the results of the present study, the selected residents in these three lis did not have significant differences in disease ratios. The reasons were probably due to the residents indirectly contacting or drinking underground water. Although the results of the present study were not significant, health of the residents nearby the petrochemical plant should be longitudinally monitored according to they living in the hotspot area.
