The project of investigation and control of environmental heavy metal pollution in Tainan Science Park(including Indoor Air Quality announcing and improving in Tainan county) 2010

Absrtact
This project included three objectives, verifying the distribution of factories where arsenic, rare heavy metals (gallium, indium, thallium, and molybdenum), and hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were applied at Tainan Science Park; confirming the concentration of heavy metals scattered in the surrounding area of Tainan Science Park by analyzing the suspended solid samples; conducting the measurement of indoor air quality in public and private locations to promote the autonomous management system of indoor air quality, accompanied by an expanding advocacy of comprehensive indoor air quality measurement and autonomous management system to employers from all walks of life. In the aspect of factory information investigation, 33 factories had been investigated. At Tainan Science Park, arsine is applied as raw material in manufacturing by six companies. On the other hand, heavy metals, including arsenic, galliums, and indium, are used by one comany at Tree Valley Park.Compare emissions of arsenic 2009 to 2010 berween Tainan Science Park, Central Taiwan Science Park and Hsinchu Science Park, Hsinchu Science Park has the largest heavy metal emissions of arsenic, followed by the Tainan park, while the emissions of the smallest Central Taiwan Science Park. In this project, totally 32 suspended solid (PM10 and PM2.5) and 8 Cascade samples were collected at 8 locations in the surrounding area of Tainan Science Park from September 2010 to April 2011, respectively. Two Elements, copper and lead, had higher concentrations in PM10 at 8 locations. lead、nickel 、 arsenic、cadmium were lower than the suggested average concentration by European Union. In order to predict the influence of emitted arsenide on environmental air quality, ISCST 3 (Industrial source Complex Short-Term) Dispersion Model was used in this project for evaluation. The model area as prediction was a square of side 15 km where its center was Southern Taiwan Science Park. In addition, 5 sensitive receptors, including environmental engineering center, Yan Ming Elementary School, activity center, Sin Shih Elementary School, and activity center in Fenghua Community, were selected to receive the emitted arsenide from 25 flues. The model result showed that the enhancement of annual average concentration at environmental engineering center, Yan Ming Elementary School, activity center, Sin Shih Elementary School, and activity center in Fenghua Community was 1.3×10-4, 2.0×10-5, 2.0×10-5, 1.0×10-5, and 6.0×10-5 μg/Nm3, respectively. However, the maximum enhancement was 4.0×10-4 μg/Nm3, situated inside Southern Taiwan Science Park. The work related to indoor air quality in this project started from July 9, 2010 and ended with July 8, 2011. During the period of this project, the findings and results of the implementation works were summarized as the followings. This project started from July 9, 2010 and ended with December 31, 2010. During the period of this project, the findings and results of the implementation works were summarized as the followings. This project started from July 9, 2010 and ended with December 31, 2010. During the period of this project, the findings and results of the implementation works were summarized as the followings. The explanatory meeting on the autonomous management and improvement technology of indoor air quality was held in Kun Shan University. The invited participants include the authorities at Tainan County government and the specialists responsible for the management of public places in the organizations, such as office building, school, hospital, business store. The topics of this meeting were focused on the sources of indoor air contaminants, the draft of related regulations, the improvement technology of indoor air quality, implementation of the autonomous management system of indoor air quality. In order to transmit the importance of the autonomous management system of indoor air quality, 600 advertising gifts were distributed to impress the participants.In this project, 20 public locations were selected for the screening of indoor air quality. The measurement of indoor air quality was conducted by direct detection apparatus, including CO2, CO, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), PM10, PM2.5, O3 and temperature. Among the selected public locations, 5 sites were investigated previously in the project of Implementation of the Autonomous Management of Indoor Air Quality at Tainan County in 2009. The results showed that the levels of CO2, O3 and PM10 at public locations commonly exceeded the suggested threshold by Taiwan EPA. The evaluation of indoor air quality improvement at Southern Taiwan Science Park was conducted on December 23, 2010. Because Tainan City and Tainan County were merged, the evaluation results transfer to five-star label ranking system for the Autonomous Management of Indoor Air Quality at Tainan City. Accordingly, the four-star or five-star medals will be awarded to those qualified organizations.
