我訪問到的阿嬤也有在高度人力密集的產業中工作過，如餐飲、紡織等等，反映了當代大環境中原民來到都市的處境。都市原民作為台灣產業發展的推手之一，卻無法擁有安身立命的家，而被迫在各處流浪，直到近代才開啟了與政府溝通的橋樑，卻依然有種種難題需要克服。

This policy is drafted by United State Environmental Protection Agency. And their mission is to protect human health and the environment via the development and enforcement with regulations. 

This policy is mainly focused on the first responders’ group. As the first responders should immediately take all reasonable efforts to contain the contamination and avoid or mitigate environmental consequences.

The policy is drafted based on the request of CWIRT (Chemical Weapons Improved

Response Team) that concerning the first responders’ liability during a weapons of mass destruction (WMD) terrorist incident. It is about the first responders’ liability for

spreading contamination while attempting to save lives.

The policy can assist the control to water contamination, therefore improve the general public health. “The hazmat team identified the need to collect the water used to decontaminate the victims (deconwater) to avoid a release to the environment.”

The vulnerable populations have addressed in this policy are the populations affected by the environmental contamination. “While the actor-survivors were dying a slow, painful, convulsive death… The contaminated water was collected but the “victims” died.”

This might not receive well enough by the public, as the search results for this policy are main on the government’s website, not as the reference from articles. Even though this policy is not well informed to the public, but in recent days, the general publics do gain much more awareness on water (environmental) contamination.
