The “Standards for installation of air quality monitoring facilities in the buffer zone of the special industrial area” was first released on January 21 1994. Some of the provisions were amended on September 15 1999, followed by another revision in September 20 2012, which contains the inclusion of the semiconductor manufacturing industry and the optoeAir Qualitylectronic materials and components manufacturing industry to the regulated special industry category. In order to increase the effectiveness and completeness of the monitoring of air pollutant in the special industrial area, the revisions also added the definition for the expansion and alternation of the special industrial zone, increased of the air monitoring station and the monitored air pollutants, and specified the monitoring frequency. The main achievement of this project was to assist the completion of the standards and the complementary measures. The team reviewed and implemented the standard by collecting information about the execution of the air monitoring and control practices from local environmental protection agencies, helped the EPA complete the standard of the output signal and telecommunication transmission equipment specification of the air monitoring equipment in the special industrial zone, completed the “special industrial zone air quality monitoring and management system”, assisted the special industrial zone complete to link with the local authority of the municipalities and the cities. The team also visited the US EPA and gathered information about the air quality monitoring and controlling regulations in industrial zone to achieve the project goals.
