This project is executed from 1st January 2022 till 20 December 2022, and the cumulative execution progress ups to 100%. The abstract of each work item is listed below.
1.The Air Quality
The data of Air Quality Index (AQI) until November 2022 in Taitung and Guanshan stations showed that days with “good” level (AQI <51) were 97.6% and 97.3% respectively, days with “normal” level (AQI 51-100) were 2.4% and 2.7%, no unhealthy day for sensitive groups occurs in both Taitung and Guanshan stations. The statistics until November 2022 of all the air quality index items and the percentage of AQI<50 and AQI≦100, as listed below, met the air quality standard and the targets of the air pollution control project(2020~2023). The further analysis showed that the daily concentration trend of each pollutant during 2017-2022 was similar. Except O3, the concentration of each pollutant improved obviously year by year.
2.The emergency response and prevention of air quality deterioration
This project reported the brief guide of the emergency response of air pollution episode and the contact manual in January, and executed early warning response drill of folk activities and river dust with 13 county government units on 14 April and 23 August, also join the sudden accident drill on 30 September.
For regulatory amendment of regulation for the emergency response and prevention of air quality deterioration announced on 3 March, this project submitted the draft amendment of preventive measures of district air quality deterioration on December. The statistics shows that no air quality deterioration events occurs until 20 December.
3.Environmental Protection Administration assessment(2022) and management of the air pollution control project(2020~2023)
The air pollution control project(2020~2023) proposed more than 19 regulatory countermeasures to control different type of pollutant, the reduction statistics until November 2022 of each kind of pollutant has met the target.
There is only one evaluation index, which is about phasing out old diesel car, is behind schedule. Each self-score of evaluation index until November 2021 was higher than 81, this project will keep giving EPB some help to get good results on the year-end meeting.
4.Indoor air quality management
For the indoor air quality management, according to the indoor air quality performance evaluation of Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan (EPA), 37 non-announcement management places until October were conducted the CO2 inspection two times, only two of them had abnormal concentration of CO2 (>1,000ppm), this project gave advice and helped the places to improve the indoor air quality. This project also inspected 16 announcement management places to confirm they are compliance with regulations.
This year, a total of 8 excellent-level badges and 6 good-level badges were issued.
5.The purification area of air quality
This project promoted the first one adoption of the purification area of air quality in Taitung, helped EPB signed the first one adoption commitment, starting from March, with a nationalized company in February, then distributed news in May and held a commendation on 6 November to expand benefits of the adoption. By the end of July, the on-site inspection of 23 purification areas of air quality was completed, and the assessment results totaled 14 excellent.
6.Administrative cooperation matters
This project purchased canvas bags with image of EPB, notebook with information of IAQ and promotional materials about IAQ Self-management Badge, also distributed news to disseminate related work. For promoting environmental governance and quality of public service, and for comprehensive consideration of the air pollution characteristic in the county and in response to the trend of application and building air box, this project built one air box at the telephone pole in front of Guanshan town hall on 15 April, to grasp the variety of air pollution at Guanshan district. The data statistic of air box and Guanshan station shows that the trend of PM10 and PM2.5 daily average until November are resemblance. The further analysis shows that the hourly data of air box during the folk activity(Mazu’s Birthday Festival on 23 April) had abnormal concentration at evening on 24 April briefly, however there is no obvious influences shows on the data of Guanshan station.
