This project investigated the concentration of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the surface water and the wastewater of domestic hospitals and public sewage treatment plant. Based on the domestic use situation, toxicological data, risk quotient and foreign control status, this project proposed a list of 8 localized hospital wastewater management recommendations, and developed the management strategy for pharmaceutical wastewater. Besides, this project summarized both domestic and foreign persistent organic pollutants (POPs) management and the industrial usage in Taiwan, investigated Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) concentration of industrial wastewater, and drafted suggestion to the relevant control strategy. This project analyzed 20 water samples, only 2 wastewater samples were found to have α-HBCD, with concentrations of 0.00168 and 0.00585 µg/L, respectively, and no HBCD was detected in the remaining water samples. To ensure the quality of river water bodies, this project conducted surveys on ammonia nitrogen, heavy metals, boron, dioxin, and total mercury in coal-fired power plants to control and assess the pollution risk. The results showed that the effluent concentration of nitrate nitrogen, zinc, nickel or boron from 4 factories exceeded the Effluent Standards. Therefore, this project hold pollution improvement consultation meetings to assist the factories in reducing pollution and improving the quality of discharged water. Moreover, this project concluded the history information of the regulated items in the Effluent Standards, and developed the color information of industrial wastewater samples.
