This report summarizes the project results acquired from July 30, 2015
through July 29, 2016. The main objectives of this study are (1) to assist regional
Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB) on quality assurance of air quality
monitoring, (2) to revise the current air quality monitoring technical manual, and
(3) to update the 2015 annual air quality monitoring report. The specific objectives
of assisting regional EPB’s air quality monitoring process include data analysis and
evaluation as well as auditing ten automated monitoring stations, forty manual
monitoring stations, and maintaining regional monitoring stations.
The automated monitoring stations for regional EPB include nine counties
with a total of thirty-one monitoring stations. This report summarizes the
performances from eight counties with ten monitoring stations. Changhua station is
not included in this report because it is not a typical monitoring station. Its
performance is not included in this analysis. Among a total of 166 items audited,
ten items did not meet the quality specification. The average satisfaction rate is 94.0 %. Five out of ten monitoring stations show 100% satisfaction rate. The
lowest satisfaction rate of 62.5%.
The manual monitoring stations for regional EPA consists of twenty-one
counties with total of 152 TSP monitoring stations . Among these twenty-one
counties, three counties have ten monitoring stations for PM2.5 manual sampling
tools. TSP station audited a total of thirty-nine samples and five samples did not
meet the quality specification. The satisfaction rate is 87.2%. In addition, five
monitoring stations audited six PM2.5 manual sampling instruments. Among these six PM
2.5 sampling instruments, only one passed the specification. The satisfaction rate is 83.3%.
This project assisted regional EPB air quality monitoring stations for
twenty-one counties. Tasks assisted include (1) monitoring station operation,
maintenance, and management, (2) monitoring quality assurance and quality
control procedures, and (3) monitoring data processing and evaluation. The results
indicate that the operation quality of regional monitoring station can be enhanced
under sufficient support of funding and human resources. Monitoring data can also
be provided to software engineers to design relevant programs for performance
evaluation. For example, Kaohsiung city has demonstrated efficient performance
on management system. On the other hand, poor outcomes can easily be received if
lack of relative supports. Based on this year’s results, it is recommended that the
Central EPA establish a continuous supervisory system to increase the regional
EPA’s enforcement quality and provide guidelines on technical manual, operation
requirements, and specific training courses.
Air quality monitoring technical manual consists of four subjects; (1) siting
procedures for air quality monitoring station location, (2) management manual for
air quality monitoring, (3) air quality monitoring station data processing
procedures, and (4) air quality assurance procedures. This manual is written mainly
based on current air quality monitoring management structure and eliminated any
outdated procedures. These four sub-manuals should serve as typical guidelines for
air quality monitoring systems of EPA and any other units.
This report includes typical air quality monitoring items, micro suspended
particles index, and manual monitoring station results. Specific figures containing
all the indexes, concentrations, and all the comparison are presented.
The results from six mobile air quality monitoring trailers including data
analysis at specific dates and locations for each of the items are also presented in
the report. A total of twenty-nine monitoring reports are also attached.
