The Implementation Plan to Improve Air Quality in the Central and Yun-Chia-Nan air basin.

Absrtact
This project includes the emission reduction in air quality zones, emission control in Taichung Port area and Sixth Naphtha Cracking plant and revision of emission standards regulations. Data from Shalu monitoring site indicate that control of 成果摘要 摘-3 fugitive dust in surrounding area has significant impact on coarse particulate matter. Thorough fugitive dust emission management is the key for the Taichung Control Region to upgrade to a PM10 Class 2 region. The same management will be applied to other Class 3 regions. Data from Douliu and Chiayi monitoring sites also showed emission reduction in mobile, stationary and fugitive sources are all required. A communication platform was established among all the relevant agencies to clearly understand their responsibilities, and to discuss control actions and difficulties encountered. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications also demand the Taiwan International Ports Corporation to come up with emission control strategies for all the ports in Taiwan. Improvements for all of the 27 flare stacks owned by the Formosa Petrochemical Corp. were completed by the end of 2012 except for the flare stacks in the alkene plants, which will be completed by the end of 2013. Additional 37 storage tanks are regulated by the newly published VOCs emission standard and all of them have completed their improvements. The percentage of equipments which have more than 10,000ppm of leakage has decreased from 0.13% in 2008 to 0.04% in 2011. The new VOCs emission standard passed in 2011 should initiate further emission reduction The emission standards for stationary sources and steelmaking and casting furnaces were promulgated this year. The emission standards for electrical facilities, and glass furnaces were continuously being revised. With the more stringent emission standards for electrical facilities, the ambient PM2 .5 concentration can be reduced by 0.4~2.0μg/m3 .
