In 2004, the Kao-Kao-Ping area PSI readings up to the end of December were 8.4% didn’t comply with the required 6.5% goals. The analysis of source emissions in the atmosphere, since 2004, showed that industrialization, increased source emissions and the increasingly arid climate were some of the reasons for the non-compliance of air quality control goals. The plan examined fugitive particulate matter for each pollution source in the Kao-Kao-Ping area included six air and land examinations. The plan examined seventy-nine construction sites, twenty particulate material heap sites and two separate cargo heap sites in Kaohsiung harbor. The air and land examinations resulted in 29 suspended cases and 6 cases of indictment; construction sites had 3 clear pollution cases and were charged by the EPB. The Bureau of Kaohsiung Harbor Affairs will budget approximately NT$20 million to improve the dust fugitive problem in the harbor areas thus controlling the heap site particulate material problems. The plan analyzed high potential ozone precursor and factories and made a list of twenty major items that required specific attention. There were more than 20 cases involving refineries flare and the usage of organic solutions involving NMHC emissions. The plan must first strengthen regular emission monitoring before it can control the flare. The usage of organic solutions needs further control measures and the primary manufacturers need to be required to produce water-based ink and paint. This would then reduce the emissions of volatile organic matter in Kao-Kao-Ping area.
