8 My position in Chile Foundation is a Project Researcher. My aim is to improve and innovate the technologies used in Chile. I am an engineer specialized in risk assessment and GIS and my responsibility is to put forward research projects which aim at detecting and evaluating important problems in my country in the area of Risk Assesment and Environmental Remediation. THE ENVIRONMENTAL AREA Position and Function

9  Develop and Propose a methodology for site identification and risk evaluation  Building up a National Registry of POP’s potentially contaminated sites  Development sensitivity maps (oil company)  Risk Evaluation and Decontamination of a community area contaminated with asbestos  Sites preliminary inspections & Feasibility studies for site remediation  Training of environmental a agencies and private companies  Use of geophysics for detection of underground contamination  Identification and prioritization of PCS in the Fifth Region  Adaptation and Pilot application of remediation technologies  Identification, evaluation and proposing measures for POP’s contaminated sites, including a National Implementation Plan THE ENVIRONMENTAL AREA THE REMEDIATION PROGRAME Examples of Projects

10 Chile has an environmental policy since 1994, which is based on the “Law of Bases of the Environmental Protection” (N° ). The Environmental Protection Agency of Chile is called CONAMA. 1. Policy of Integral Management of Solid Waste: The Concerning the chemical agents the Health Ministry has enforced regulations such as D.S 148 which regulates the handling and treatment of hazardous chemicals. Agricultural Service Center of Chile (SAG) has enforced regulations to forbid the manufacture and import of hazardous agrochemicals, such as POP´s, Bromuro de Metilo and Pentaclorophenol. 2. At present a policy of management of contaminated sites is being developed. COUNTRY REPORT CURRENT STATUS ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION POLICY

11 Industrial Activities Mining Activities Toxic Chemicals Oil Companies COUNTRY REPORT MAJOR PROBLEMS ON ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS

12 Some of the most important regulations of environmental and industrial Chemicals are: 1.Drinking Water Regulation NCh 409 (1984) 2.Law of Bases of the Environmental Protection N° (1994) 3.Environmental Impact System Evaluation D.S N ° 30 (1997) 4.Hazardous Chemicals: general classification NCh 382 (1998) 5.Regulations of contamination release of Liquid Industrial wastes D.S N 90 (2000) 6.Regulations of release of Liquid Industrial wastes to the ground water D.S N 46 (2002) 7.Handling and treatment of hazardous waste D.S N° 148 (2004) COUNTRY REPORT REGULATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS Although the Chilean environmental regulation has been considerably improved, there are many aspects that have not been regulated yet. The environmental regulation on chemicals is insufficient. There are also laws that prohibit the use of several chemicals, but there is still a lot to do.

13 Considering industrial chemicals, the Environmental Protection Agency (CONAMA in Chile) is at present working on a system to identify chemical substances and waste that are produced by industry or the productive sector. CONAMA has also developed a data base of industrial solid waste and an Inventory of Contaminated Sites in Chile to monitoring the risk for human health and ecosystems. COUNTRY REPORT MONITORING SYSTEMS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS

14 The major technology for monitoring is associated with the “Plan of Atmospheric Prevention and Decontamination for the Metropolitan Region”. The aim of this plan is to evaluate the pollutants (i.e. Particulate Matter, CO, SOx, NOx, NH 3 ) and to take action to reduce them in a planned order and terms. COUNTRY REPORT MAJOR TECHNOLOGY FOR MONITORING In order for samples analysis we have analytical technology for monitoring heavy metals, oils, pesticides and others chemicals.

15

16 My experience for over three years working at Chile Foundation has been mainly in making surveys of risk assessment of potentially polluted sites in order to determine if the existing risk levels involve a threat to human health or ecosystems. My experience in areas associated with risk assessment is as follows: 1. Risk assessment in connection with polluted sites (health and ecological aspects) 2. Environmental Characterization of polluted sites. 3. Producing risk, danger and vulnerability maps making use of GIS. 4. Producing lists of contaminated sites and design a methodology to identify them. 5. Research, assessment, development and application of remediation technologies. 6. Consultant for companies in the decision taking process concerning contaminated sites. 7. Training in risk assessment, identification of contaminated sites and remedial technologies. 8. Collaboration with national authorities involved in establishing the regulations. COUNTRY REPORT OUTLINE OF YOUR EXPERIENCE

17 COUNTRY REPORT OUTLINE OF YOUR EXPERIENCE

18 I am highly motivated to learn about methods, methodologies and technology concerning risk assessment and supervision of chemicals in the environment. I expect to contribute with greater knowledge and know-how to the design of research projects and surveys about economic activities which are sustainable in their relation with the environment and people´s health. Furthermore, I would like to evaluate the possibility of introducing innovation in our technology thus improving the assessment procedures. This would lead to diminishing and preventing risk for the health of the people and ecosystems in many sites of my country. COUNTRY REPORT YOUR PURPOSE TO ATTEND IN THIS TRAINING COURSE
