Abstract :
In this paper, a Chinese Toxic Potential Indicator (TPI) evaluation process is presented 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
