2016 年8 月台塑企業麥寮廠外鄰近麥寮鄉橋頭國小許厝分校學童遷校事件，引發外界關切許厝分校學童尿中硫代二乙酸(TdGA) 濃度偏高，是否 與學童暴露在氯乙烯(VCM) 污染環境中有關。

經衛生福利部聘請國內外專家及環保署分別就學童尿液中TdGA 濃度與空氣環境進行檢測，不僅環境中未檢出VCM，且學童在遷校至橋頭國小就讀後所檢驗尿液TdGA 濃度，反而比在原就讀許厝分校之檢驗值還高，於2017 年2 月7 日專家會議 檢視與討論後，已證實學童尿液中TdGA 濃度與VCM濃度無明顯相關，學童已於2017 年9 月如願返回許厝分校就讀。

In August 2016, schoolchildren at the Hsutso Branch of Qiaotou Elementary School in Mailiao Township, which was located near FPG's Mailiao Industrial Complex, were relocated, which caused public concerns over the high concentration of thiodiglycolic acid (TdGA) in urine samples of students at the Hsutso Branch, and raised questions on whether this observation was connected with these schoolchildren's exposure to a vinyl chloride (VCM)-contaminated environment.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare hired domestic and foregin experts, as well as EPA, to test urinary TdGA concentrations in these schoolchildren and the air environment. According to test results, not only was VCM not detected in the environment, but higher urinary TdGA concentrations were found in these schoolchildren after their relocation to Qiaotou Elementary School compared to the time when they were still studying at the Hsutso Branch. After a review and discussion session held by experts on February 7th, 2017, it was confirmed that no significant correlation had been found between urinary TdGA concentrations in these choolchildren and VCM concentration. These schoolchildren were then allowed to return to the Hsutso Branch in Seㄙptember 2017 to continue their studies (for more details, refer to Subsection 5.5.8 in FPC's 2016 CSR Report).
