In order to improve the air quality, the EPA carried out a project in 2002 that check randomly the inorganic air pollutes eluted from factories located on southern area of Taiwan. The southern area is including Chiai City, Chiai County, Tainan City, Tainan County, Kaohsiung City, Kaohsiung County, Penhu County, Pintung County and Taitung County. Until November, inorganic pollutes including NOx, SOx, particle samples are collected and analyzed from one hundred and twelve funnels, the analysis results indicated no illegal emission can be found, a consequence that is really like that of other years before. In another way, the calculation of emission coefficient shows eight factories have emission coefficient that exceeded the allowed values. That is worth paying more attention to notice whether there is unormal operation. In the analysis results of fuel, totally seventy-one samples was collected and analyzed. The analysis of sulfur component in fuel showed only one sample has a disqualified result, and all other collected samples are qualified. Statistically, the fuel oil has a average sulfur capacity 0.44% in restricted areas( Kaohsiung City, Kaohsiung County, Pintung County), and 0.72% in other areas(Chiai city, Chiai county, Tainan city, Tainan county, Penhu County and Taitung County). Coal analysis gives a sulfur average 0.31% and diesel analysis gives an average 0.23%. The 39th factory is using diesel as fuel supply, its analysis value 0.848% has obviously exceeded the allowed sulfur capacity 0.035% and needed further exploration to understand the disqualified reason.
