Summary of the work results during the year are as follows:
(A) The results of the investigation of temples’ air pollutants
We has fully completed investigation. According to the Estimation by the survey data, the joss paper consumed 6,389 kg. That may cause particulate matter (PM10) 70 kg, Sulfur oxides (SOx) 16 kg, Nitrogen oxides (NOx) 18 kg, Carbon monoxide (CO) 773 kg and Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) 0.49 kg.
(B) The promotion of the reduction of air pollution from temples and altars
As for the self-management and promotion of the air pollution from temples, a total of 15 temples has participated in the project and it reached 100%.
According to our survey, the amount of burst joss paper in every temples has reduced about 4.34 kg per month. The reduced incenses are 377. The total reduced amount of the joss paper are 63,281 kg per year and the incenses are 3,525,752. As for the energy efficiency, this year temples new to this project are 13 in total. They have replaced 24,613 LED bulbs. Since 2006, the amount of replaced LED bulbs are 232,007 and the replacement rate reached 93%.
(C) Joss paper burning together activities
Till Nov. 30, the gathered joss paper was 211 ton, and reduced emission including 10.86 tons of particulate pollutants, 2.47 tons of sulfur oxides, 2.77 tons, of nitrogen oxides, 119.42 tons of carbon monoxide and 0.075 tons of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
(D) The inspection control operations of open burning
A total of 277 cases petition received on open burning. During the rice harvest period, we inspected 47 times, and stopped 7,720 square meters open burning of straw.
(E) Inspection of air pollution control on food and beverage industry
There were 257 cases of inspection finished. The completion of operation reached 82%. As for the type of inspection, there are 138 cases of public petition; 47 cases of trace of the petition improvement; 46 cases of completion of the petition improvement, 26 general inspection cases.
(F) Air pollution reduction counseling in the food and beverage industry
There were 15 restaurants have reduced their amount after counseling. The operation achieving rate is 100%. After the counseling member’s, Professor Zhou Ming xian, Institute of Environmental Engineering, National Sun Yat-sen University) on-site investigation and recommendations, there were six industries have completed improvement (the improvement rate 93%), yet we still have to track the progess of improvment in the rest of the industries.
(G) The survey of the food and beverage industry
There were 110 cases have surveyed, achieving rate is 100%. The proportion of the Chinese restaurant is 37%. There is 61% installed semi-hood exhaust equipment. And according to the survey, the emissions are 12,555.4 kg of total suspended particulate(TSP), and 32,414.2 kg of total hydrocarbon compound(THC).
