In this project, seven stationary sources including four different industries located in Kinmen County were selected for conducting flue gas sampling to determine the chemical and physical particulate characteristics between 27th May 2011 and 31st March 2012. The result of analysis indicates that the quantity of particulate matter (PM) emitted from stationary source of power plant is higher than other industries. In addition, PM2.5 (aerodynamic diameter of particle ≦ 2.5 μm) is predominant particulate size for the flue gas of power plant industry. Due to the electricity generation of heavy oil-fueled engine process in Ta-Shan power plant, the ratio of nickel (Ni) to vanadium (V) can be an indicator for the compositions of particles emitted from heavy oil-fueled power plant. The average ratio of Ni to V for PM2.5 is 3.68, higher than other emission from oil-fueled combustion and from diesel engine combustion process. As for the result of scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows that several tiny, almost spherical primary, particles agglomerate in Ta-Shan (heavy oil-fueled) power plant significantly. Besides, the proportion of PM2.5 to PM concentration is about 43% to 53% for the emission of diesel-fueled boiler in kaoliang distillery industry. Compared with other industries, kaoliang distillery industry has lower particulate emission factor in this project due to its diesel-fueled steam boiler. In terms of the result for chemical compositions analysis, the soluble ion: Na+ of particle emitted from kaoliang distillery industry is higher than other industries in Kinmen. Furthermore, PM2.5 is also predominant particulate size for the flue gas of ceramic industry. The proportion of PM2.5 to PM concentration is above 72%. The result of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates that the particulate matter emitted from ceramic industry has significant crystal structure such as Mica and other aluminum silicate crystallizations. Moreover, the predominant heavy metals of particulate matter are Zn and Pb respectively in ceramic industry. In Kinmen, because of heavy oil-fueled combustion process, similar to heavy oil-fueled power plant, the ratio of nickel (Ni) to vanadium (V) also can be an indicator for particulate matter in asphalt concrete industry. The average ratio of Ni to V for the compositions of particles in asphalt concrete industry is about 2.03, similar to the value from other studies of heavy oil-fueled boiler in references. According to the result of principal component analysis (PCA) for various industries’ stationary sources heavy metal emission, the power supply industry has five and three principal component factors to identify the variance of PM10 and PM2.5 respectively. The kaoliang distillery industry has three and two principal component factors to identify the variance of PM10 and PM2.5 respectively. As for the ceramic industry and asphalt concrete industry, three and two principal component factors can be identified for variance respectively. Meanwhile, the result of chemical mass balance (CMB) model calculation shows that the contribution of the ambient for Jin-Shui village from Ta-Shan power plant is about 7.28%. However, the contribution of the ambient from Kinmen ceramic factory is about 0.35%. In addition to conducting flue gas sampling for four industries’ stationary sources, the process’ risk indicator of stationary sources in Kinmen is established and evaluated by the information of raw materials and fuel usage. The result of investigation shows that non high risk process of stationary sources in Kinmen. In order to understand and handle the emergent situation of air pollution, the air pollution monitoring and sampling devices are purchased and prepared for investigating and sampling during emergency of air pollution. Furthermore, Environmental Protection Bureau of Kinmen County and other Bureau of Kinmen County as well as the army-related organizations accomplished the emergency practice of air pollution on 14th December 2011.
