This project was implemented from May. 4, 2009 to Mar. 3, 2010. All the tasks defined in the contract had been completed including the sampling analysis, maintenance of the Manual Operation Air Monitoring Stations, regular maintenance of Auto-Monitoring Stations, calibration and maintenance of Fixed Noise Monitoring Stations, Mobile Noise Monitoring, Equipment Management, the Stationary Noise Measurement of running vehicles, and Non-Ionizing Radiation Monitoring, et cetera.
In the section of Manual Operation Air Monitoring Stations, this project had covered the following missions in Fengyuan, Wuchi and Wufeng. There are monthly sampling and analysis of dust fall, monthly one-point flow rate calibration, every half months TSP sampling analysis and maintenance, quarterly multiple-point flow rate calibration. All equipments in Manual Operation Air Monitoring Stations are in good working conditions. In contrast with year 2008, the mean concentration of TSP in year 2009 was obviously lower than that in year 2008.
In the section of Auto-Monitoring Stations, all measurement items were functioning well under weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual maintenance scheme. The data validity all achieved above 90%. In the project, we invited experts to perform functions verification and QA check, and we had improved instruments based on critical comments.
In 2009, the PSI (Pollutant Standards Index) of Taichung County revealing in Taiwan EPA report was 2.47%. As to the Maximum Index Pollutants, ozone contributed the big part（81.5％）. Among Shan, Hai, and Tun, three districts of Taichung County, Shan had the worst air quality from its highest PSI and Hai had the better air quality from its lowest PSI. The measurement data for the mid-Taiwan, the worst one was Nantou County standing for 3.44%, followed by Taichung City (2.74%), Taichung County（2.47％）, and then Changhua County (1.23%).
In the section of Noise Monitoring, the regular calibration and maintenance of Fixed Noise Monitoring Stations were completed according to the contract. The calibration report and monitoring data were submitted monthly and the data validity was above 90%. In the section of the Mobile Noise Monitoring, that took twice quarterly monitoring tests at each spot, made totally 32 times monitoring. In the section of Petition Case Noise Monitoring, we had completed 8 cases times. Most of petition cases spreading along heavy traffic roadsides. The monitoring results showed all cases complied with noise regulation standard. In the section of the Noise Monitoring of High Speed Rail, 5 spots had been accomplished. In the section of Stationary Noise Measurement of running vehicles, including in coordination with the federal highway police to guard against the car racing mission and Vehicles noise sentiment cases, we had performed 34 times including 140 vehicles’ inspection. The disqualified rate was 45％ and the disqualified vehicles were mostly stock cars.
In the section of the Equipment Management, all the sound level calbrators were certificate by Electronics Test Center. In addition to this, all the noise monitors had to be sent to the auditing teams in Shan, Hai and Tun districts for testing on 15th of every month. In the section of the Integrated Software Operation/Maintenance and Data Update, apart from submitting the self- evaluation forms and updating the database of the Noise Control Information System monthly, it provided Taichung County EPB with the assistance of calculating and uploading the self-evaluation results to EPA’s Noise Control Information System quarterly.
