Under the purpose of air quality improvement in Tainan City, the City Environmental Protection Bureau legislate the regulation of “Air Pollutant Control and Assistance Improvement for the Restaurant Industry in Tainan City & Demonstration Plan of Environment-Friendly Restaurant Street” which provides the strategies of inspection and control of soot pollution, and improvement assistance for restaurant industry, thus, constructively solves the pollution problems and public discontent. Based on this project, the scale of restaurants in Tainan City is mainly in middle and small size. Thus, the information of soot pollution and their prevention technologies are sufficient for restaurant owners. 457 restaurants were inspected in this year. Only around 40% of them installed the prevention equipments, while only 20% installed more advance prevention equipments. In the part of improvement assistance, because of less enforcement under regulation, only fifty restaurants were completed and reached the effective pollution reduction, such as total reduction of TSP in 40.347 tons/year, NMHC in 7.023 tons/year, and THC in 12.542 tons/year. This project suggests that Environmental Protection Administration should promptly make related regulations in controlling and managing restaurant industry, which will provide the regulation basis for inspectors in supervision and assistance in Taiwan. Moreover, this project suggested that the restaurants investigation and evaluation can be constantly executed in next year, which contributes Tainan as a city with environmental protection actions and delicious foods. Thus, it will result in more attracted visitors and prosperous city development. Finally, this project also suggests that rising budgets in samples analysis and characterization of waste soot, and expanding the analysis times, points and types of pollutants should be fully consideration in coming year, which will establish the pollution database system for restaurant industry in Tainan City, and provide the future information in control and management.
