전자산업에서 사용하는 일부 고독성 화학물질에 대한 유통 경로 조사 고찰

초록

Objectives: This study examined the distribution channels and management systems for hazardous chemicals (dichloromethane, trichloromethane and tetramethylammonium hydroxide) within the electronics industry. The aim was to identify issues and suggest improvements by gaining an understanding of the perceptions of stakeholders. Methods: A literature review was conducted, alongside interviews with 20 stakeholders across the chemical supply chain, using a semi-structured questionnaire. Results: Significant gaps in safety management were identified during the distribution and use stages. Inadequate information transfer, a lack of safety awareness and limited management capacity were identified as major issues. Discrepancies in perception were observed between suppliers and users. SMEs encountered challenges when adopting alternative substances and improving facilities. Conclusions: A systematic approach that covers the entire lifecycle of chemicals is needed. It is crucial to establish a comprehensive management system for distribution and expand support for SMEs. The study recommends enhancing information sharing, strengthening education and technical support, and promoting collaboration among stakeholders. The study proposes a chemical substance passport system to enable transparent tracking and management of chemicals.
