隨著全球工業時代來臨，相關化學製造工廠或原料供應商等不免會使用愈來愈多之毒性化學物質，所相關毒性化學物質之製造、運送、貯存及使用等過程中，可能由於人爲疏忽或設備不足或意外等原因，可能導致毒性物質意外事故並嚴重影響環境，惟化學工廠火災議題似乎較水、空氣、土壤等污染不受重視，殊不知化學工廠火災燃燒後生成物所引發之環境污染問題才是值得重視討論之議題，而環境法治國所要面臨的重要課題是關於「對下一代責任」的問題，若造成難以回復的環境破壞，將是我們這一代應負的責任。希望藉由本文提出現行國內相關環境法規針對化學工廠火災處罰之規範不足及盲點提出分析討論，盼日後修法以法治國環境刑法思維，強化以刑法功能來達到保護環境，有效杜絕化學工廠火災衍生之污染問題。

Accompanied with the rapid global industrial development, more and more toxic chemical materials have been applied in chemical industry and raw material suppliers. However, the process of toxic chemical materials making, delivering, storing and utilizing, may cause toxic material accident by unexpected reasons. This has seriously endangered the living conditions of human beings. Many people have focused more on water, air and soil pollution. But, they fail to pay enough attention on the issues of chemical factory fire cases. We must understand that the environmental pollution caused by burning chemical materials is the severest issue. In the environmental Rechtsstaat, we must recognize that we are responsible for the next generation. If we seriously damage the environment now, it would be our guilt. In this article, the blind point and the deficient regulations of the punishment of the chemical factory fire cases were analyzed. And the researcher suggested that our government should set up a set of revised law through the viewpoint of the environmental criminal law. We should protect our environment by enforcing the effective criminal law and eradicating serious pollution cause of chemical factory fire cases.
