The purpose of this project is to evaluate the relationship between the health status of the residents and exposure to air pollutants using the air quality data from Houli, Xitun, Daya, and Taichung Harbor districts.。The project include (1) the use of ISCST3 in the atmospheric diffusion model simulation (2) Literature review and a summary of previous health risk assessment report (3) Monitoring vehicles to detect exposure to environmental pollutants among the residents(4) to calculate the differences in the time trend of health indicators in different regions in Taichung (5) The difference in health indicators in Central Taiwan Science Park Bureau in Taichung, Houli and Taichung Harbor districts from the 2002-2003, 2006-2007, and 2010-2011. (6) Analyzing the relationship between exposure and health indicators using data from the air quality monitoring station and results from the environmental pollution survey Project. The results are as follows: (1) the use of ISCST3 in the atmospheric diffusion model shows a high correlation between diffusion distributions of fixed pollution sources and wind field distribution. (2) The reviewed literature described whether long-term or short-term exposure PM2.5 will have adverse health effects, although past reports evaluating Taichung City Health Risk Assessment showed that the estimated risk value was acceptable. However, attention must still be paid on the adverse effect of exposure to air pollution. (3) There are 13 compounds in Class 1, Class 2A, and Class 2B compounds that can be measured from 2014-2016. The data show that there is a considerable concentration of air quality which should be continuously traced and removed. This project shows the differences in time trends of health indicators of the 29 administrative regions in the form of graphs which could serve as reference to develop research hypothesis. (5) The difference in health indicators in Central Taiwan Science Park Bureau in Taichung, Houli and Taichung Harbor districts from the 2002-2003, 2006-2007, and 2010-2011 also similar to those in 21 other regions in Taichung with the exception of Taichung City. Thus, whether a relationship exist between health indicators and developed industrial areas still need to be explored in future research. (6) The relationship between the air pollutants and Health insurance database is both reasonable and unreasonable because the place where one is insured cannot actually show personal exposure information and confounders cannot be adjusted. Thus, such results are just for reference purposes. (7) This project shows the differences in the annual trends of the 29 administrative regions in the form of graphs which have been constructed using the geographic information system (GIS). This interactive platform can be used to explore health indicators and can also serve as a reference for future research and relevant government units.
