The project has accomplished eighty six for new registered premises and one hundred and fifty nine original registered premises field inspections during the implementation period. Ten major problems according to these inspections we found: (1) accumulation of dust at the venting outlet; (2) mold growing or broken on the ceiling; (3) insufficient cleaning frequency for air conditioning filters; (4) accumulation of dust at the fans; (5) feel muggy in parts of field; (6) odor from toilet; (7) odor of painting or solvent which from interior decoration; (8) problems of wall cancer; (9) unclean indoor environment; (10) indoor pollution emission from outdoor.
With respect to the establishment investigation of dedicated personnel position, we coordinated the associated agency of Environmental Professionals Training Institute-Kun Shan University to hold one indoor air quality management session in Pingtung County, which greatly enhances the volition of receiving training. The number of qualified dedicated personnel has increased obviously (twenty five more than the last year) through localized training and ongoing demonstration. In the first batch of twelve announced premises, six have gotten approval for reference, three have obtained qualification certificates, one has been waiting for qualification examination and two have been waiting for training. We suggest that the EPB keep tracing the establishment of dedicated personnel position next year.
As to the promotion of indoor air quality management, the project team has comprehensively guided registered premises to establish the new issued format of maintenance and management plan. Nine of new registered premises and eleven of original registered premises have established their maintenance and management plans included the twelve announced premises, and forty seven of original registered premises have transferred to new format.
With respect to inspection testing, the project team has executed six hundred and forty three times for eighty five new registered premises during field inspection service. The high value ratio for carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, total volatile organic compounds, PM2.5 and PM10 are 3.7%, 0%, 5.3%, 2.6%, 4.2% and 2.6% respectively. Meanwhile, the project team has also executed one thousand four hundred and thirty six times for one hundred and fifty nine original registered premises during tracing inspection service. The high value ratio for carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde total volatile organic compounds, PM2.5 and PM10 are 11.3%, 0%, 12.0%, 10.5%, 0.3% and 0.5% respectively.
As regards the analysis for indoor air quality standards, fifteen selected premises had accomplished. In these premises, the formaldehyde concentration of Pingtung Welfare Service College Center, Carrefour, National Pingtung University and National Pingtung University of Science and Technology failed to comply with the Indoor Air Quality Standards. However, all of four premises mentioned above had met the standards after retesting. On the other hand, the PM2.5 and PM10 concentration of Pingtung County Environment Protection Bureau and Bureau of Labor Insurance Pingtung Local Office failed to comply with the Indoor Air Quality Standards due to outdoor air pollution. To let the first batch of announced premises meet the regulation requirement, the project team suggests that the EPB should keep tracking their budget planning and execution schedules of the periodic indoor air quality examination.
Five regulation demonstration workshops had been held in this year, and three hundred and thirty two persons (require fifty at least) from two hundred and fifty six premises attended. As a result of questionnaire survey, 79% of attendance realized the regulation of Indoor Air Quality Management Act. In cross-division conference, the project team coordinates attended divisions to focus on field inspection of their premises within jurisdiction, so as to response timely in future. Furthermore, the project team held indoor air quility well-rounded guidance for premises this year for five premises, and also gave consulting service as a reference for future improvement, the well-rounded guidance which took places in Ministry of Health and Welfare Pingtung Hospital, Antai Medical Care Cooperation Antai Tian-Sheng Memorial Hospital, Taiwan Railways Administration Pingtung Station and Paochien Hospital.
The indoor air quality monitoring signal transmission demonstration of Pingtung County Government had accomplished on October 30, and monitoring data uploaded to “Indoor Air Quility Information Website of Pingtung County” at same time for further inquiry. As regards the demonstration literature, the project submitted one thousand copies of demonstration brochures and six hundred pieces of demonstration souvenirs on June 30 and of September 30, and assisted the Pingtung County Government Environmental Protection Bureau in mailing brochures to registered premises inspected. The project divides the entrance pages of “Indoor Air Quility Information Website of Pingtung County” into four parts, which includes “public version”, “academic version”, “premise region” and “back-stage management” and keeps updating relative contents during implementation period.
