隨著世界環保意識的抬頭，人們逐漸瞭解到產品的製造及使用的過程中，必須盡可能的減少對於環境及人體的影響，因此對於產品的設計階段就導入這種對於環境維護的概念，就通稱為綠色設計（GreenDesign）。同時許多環保標準及法規的陸續訂定，在在顯示人類對於地球環境維護的決心，如ISO14000系列標準、各國產品的環保標章、產品廢棄物回收法（WEEE, ELV）等。

　　也由於各項法規的陸續發佈，使得做為我國經濟貢獻重要產業之一的汽車業，不得不再謹慎面對這些環保議題的挑戰，因此如何建立我國汽車產業綠色設計的能力，尤其是產品化學物質環境毒性衝擊的評估能力，對於維持我國汽車產業未來競爭力有決定性的影響力。

　　本文利用現有毒性潛能指標的架構，配合本研究建構的『中文語詞物質危害風險分類表』和『危害衝擊評估結果表』，以及所發展針對工作環境中『作業環境允許濃度單位轉換』的方法，建立更適合中文語系的毒性潛能指標評估系統。更進一步發展中文毒性潛能指標計算器，方便使用者進行物質的毒性潛能評估，並且以國內之汽車用化學物質作為評估範例。本文所建立的汽車產業化學物質毒性潛能評估能力，對於我國汽車產業，因應未來的環保議題對產品的衝擊帶來的影響，提升未來綠色產品的競爭力，可先立下有利的根基。

　Because of the environmental consciousness, people consider that the impact caused by products must be reduced, especially when they are in manufacture and use stages. Therefore, the design process, which introduces environmental concept, is named “Green Design”. Moreover, many environmental standards, criterions, acts or regulations are made due to the thinking of people’s concern and enthusiasm for environmental issue, such as ISO 14000, TCO’99, Energy Star, WEEE and ELV etc. In Taiwan, the automobile manufacturers are concerned about if their products are qualified to the environmental regulations. For raising the ability of green design and evaluation, especially in the part of chemical substances’ impact, a convenient and efficient process is essential.

　In this study, a feasible Chinese Toxic Potential Indicator (TPI) evaluation process is built up based on the existing research achievement. The proposed process combines the “The Table of Hazardous Substance Declaration for Chinese Languages”, “The Result Table of Hazardous Impact Evaluation” with “The Method of Unit Transformation for Allowable Workplace Concentration”. Furthermore, the Chinese version TPI calculator is developed for evaluating chemical substances more easily. The evaluation of automobile manufacturer chemical substances are successfully illustrated the proposed process. The relative proposed research achievement could be regarded as the pillar for green design and escalate the Taiwan automobile
industry.
