This project started on October 13th 2010 and it contained following working targets including the 90 days' continuously Open Path FTIR (OP-FTIR) infrared monitoring (OP-FTIR) in the No 6 Formosa Petrochemical Plan in Mailiao Industrial Site , and the analysis of harmful pollutants examination at 20 villages and 4 schools of Yulin county close to the off-shore Island's industrial district. The harmful pollutants examination contents included: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), multi-link aromatic compounds (PAHs), heavy metals, acid and alkali gas and particles and extremely easy volatile compounds and so on. The main purpose of this project is firstly to establish the background data in sensitive sites of the off-shore Island's industrial district for the future follow up comparative monitoring and secondly to understands the impact of pollutants coming from off-shore Island's industrial district.
