In this project, evaluating the impact of industrial park to the residential area, the fixed open-path Fourier transform infrared (OP-FTIR) systems has chosen to set at the Nan-yang Primary School, the most odor reports, and the Chaoliao Junior High School, happened few times major incidents. The second year, 36 chemical compounds were identified in the monitoring station of Nan-yang Primary School, the result showed that N,N-dimethyl formamide, 2-butanone, Butadiene, vinyl acetate and ethylene have the highly frequency to be monitored. Also, 32 chemical compounds were found in the monitoring station of Chaoliao Junior High School, the most frequently-identified chemicals include ethylene, eethanol, ethyl acetate and ammonia. In addition to the primary pollutants in those areas, the project analyzed possible emission sources, and deployed the OP-FTIR to monitor in San Fang Chemical Industry Co., Ltd, the contributed source of chemical compound, Dimethylformamide (DMF). Comparison to the result of the first year monitoring, the target pollutant concentration presented the decreasing tendency. For the objective of efficiently control the pollutant emission, the monitoring results were fed back to relevant projects of Environmental Protection Bureau Kaohsiung City Government, such as VOC Control Plan for strengthening the process equipment component inspection testing or guiding plants to reduce the quantity of pollution, Air Quality Management Project for arranging the joint inspection, or Reduction Appraisal Project for selecting the high pollution potential plants as evaluation subjects and providing professional advices with pollution reduction, etc. The project not only pumped lots of FTIR monitoring capacity into the source tracing of pollutants but provides professional technical support through educational training, technology transfer and air quality explanation session, etc. Moreover, the project also fully cooperates with the Environmental Protection Bureau’s Emergency Response Mechanism and help Industrial Park areas with emergency response and monitoring investigation so it can efficiently utilize each work capacity directly or indirectly to maintain air quality. By way of pollution source tracking in 2016, the project had enforced the plants in Ren Da Industrial Park and Linyuan Industrial Park to complete improvements. The monitoring results of the fixed OP-FTIR station in Nan-yang Primary School and Chaoliao Junior High School both indicated that the frequency of pollutant concentration exceeding the border standard were slightly lower than in 2015.
