This project offered air quality statistic report weekly and monthly, followed up the air quality of all air basins, cities and counties. The air quality statistic data of cities/countries nearby in the East Asia area, including mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, etc. are collected and organized monthly. The research of the air quality influenced by the COVID-19 around Taiwan and Asia area are also collected.
The specific air quality case studies were progressed in this project, including the influence of weather style to the air quality, analysis of high pollutant events of PM2.5 and O3, the relationship between domestic tourism and air quality. In the meantime, some assessments and studies about analysis of air quality were proceeded, which are: renew of the attainment area classification, review of air basins division in Taiwan, the standard process to analysis the cause of air quality deteriorating instantly, the methods to evaluate exceptional events rule, the feasibility of the FRM(federal reference method) sampling frequency adjustment of PM2.5, the impact to exclude the data of FRM station Hengchun, the feasibility of replacing the FRM data by FEM(federal equivalent method), and the method to estimate the AQI in real time.
Otherwise, this project collected the air quality analysis reports of the local governments, analyzed the benefits of main air pollution reduction strategies, which including the air pollution fee, total emission control plan of Kaohsiung and Pingtung Air Basin, sulfur content control of fuel, replacement of diesel heavy-duty vehicles and 2-stroke scooters. The editing task of “The Annual Report of Air Pollution Control in Taiwan(R.O.C.)in 2020” was also accomplished by this project.
