The industries are dense-located in Taiwan. The influence of industrial area air pollutant emissions to regional air quality and sensitive acceptors around the neighborhood have been paid close attention by publics. The “Standards for Buffer Zone and Air Quality Monitoring Facilities Installation in Specific Industrial Area” have been announced to regulate industrial areas that contain petroleum, steel, and high-tech industries to monitoring their air quality and set buffering zone. On the other hand, co-benefit measures that combined energy efficiency improvement and air pollution control have become international trend recently. Therefore, it is important to absorb international experiences on controlling PM2.5 by sustainable energy policy or plan through international communication and cooperation. Based on the above instructions, the main contents of this project is divided into three parts：1) Monitoring data analysis and data system maintenance of industrial area, 2) Research the relation between energy policy and air pollution control, and 3) International exchanging and cooperation on environmental issues. In the part of industrial area monitoring data analysis and data system maintenance, this project collected the UK's and the USA's air quality monitoring information and compared them with Taiwan's specific industrial area monitoring standard　for future policies making's reference. And this project supervised and assisted local environmental protect agency to implement 5 specific industrial areas and 34 monitoring sites regulations and assisted Tainan City and Kaohsiung City in monitoring system linking. Also, this project planned the monitoring data analysis processes through the temporal and spatial changes of pollutants analysis and wind direction analysis to estimate pollution source, and index pollutants ratios to quantify contribution of pollutant sources. These analysis methods were planned to fulfill the policy goals of establishing air quality background data, proving the impact of industry development to air quality, appraisal of pollutant sources, and to draft control policy and management. International air quality management has been promoted Multi-Pollutant Emission Reduction Strategies (MERS), estimating co-benefit of single control measures. The control of fuel or energy efficiency could be one of main strategies to accomplish reduction of energy consumption, greenhouse gas, PM2.5 or other air pollutants at the same time. To research and analyze the relation of energy policy and air pollution control policy and to offer as decision supporting tools, this project collected energy policies and PM2.5 control strategies in EU, USA, Japan, Singapore, and China, and focused on utilization of two energy and air pollution integrated assessment models, Long Range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) and Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Interactions and Synergies (GAINS) to estimate the feasibility of setting them as assistant tools to air quality management in Taiwan. On the work of international experience exchanging and cooperation among environment partners, this project tried to exchange experiences on air quality control techniques with Japan, Korea, and the USA. The project have accomplished to hold technique exchange symposium with Japan and Korea, the 21st International Conference on Aerosol Science and Technology, to visit South Coast Air Quality Management District in California, USA and to assist attending 2014 Better Air Quality Conference. Also, this project provided logistic assistance for Cities Clean Air Partnership Plan (CCAP) to cultivate international cooperation and enhanced visibility of Taiwan in the field of environment. At last, the system of air pollution fee has been operated for 20 years. This project compiled and recorded the 20-year milestone and achievements of air quality protection work from the stage of system establishment to the stage of regulation practice.
