As a bilateral cooperation project between Taiwan EPA and USEPA, this project aim to provide integrated information for improving air quality in Taiwan. The main objective of this project is to import the current international advanced technology using science and information tools to help policy decision‐making in air quality management. Taiwan Air Benefit and Cost and Attainment Assessment System (Taiwan-ABaCAS) start from 2013 to integrate emission inventory, control technology and cost, air quality modeling, and health benefit assessment for developing a Taiwan air quality decision-making system. This system could modify and evaluate different air pollution emission and control scenarios to simulate air pollutants levels for cost and health benefit assessment to support the assessment of various control strategies from cost-benefit evaluation. In the second year of this project we have established the demonstration system for Taiwan Air Benefit and Control and Assessment (Taiwan‐ABaCAS) including (1) Taiwan Emission Cost Analysis System (TECAS) and the investigation's standard operating procedure. (2) Using WRF and CMAQ to simulation the air quality building local Response Surface Modeling (RSM), and (3) The environmental Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program (BenMAP) synthesize the air pollution situation, Concentration-Response (CR) function, population and social economic data in Taiwan.
