The formation of air pollutants is related to energy usage, industrial production, transportation, agricultural activities, building construction and other human activities. Also, air quality is affected by cross border long range transported pollution. Thus, the air quality control strategies in Taiwan have been toward to integrated management. This project aims to manage the implementation of the industrial area air quality monitoring regulations, to promote inter-departmental cooperation on air quality management, and to uptake advanced or innovative strategies and at the same time to share Taiwan's own experiences through international exchange activities. Overall, we expect to improve the regional air quality and effectively enhance the international visibility of Taiwan.
To assure the regulation of specific industrial area buffering zone setting and air quality monitoring are well implemented, this project established three corresponding standard operating procedures, developed two automatic notification mechanism, held training course, and offered technical supports with respect to the data transmission disconnected, unusual high level monitoring data clarification and management, and data reporting procedure disunity problems, which efficiently strengthen the management technique of local Environmental Protection and the quality and usability of monitoring data. Overall transmission disconnected rates was lower than 1% and the data validity met the legal norm. Also, this project planned the monitoring data application methods in air quality management, includes set an information open platform for publics to supervision, and developed daily baseline management and source tracing analysis processes. These analysis methods were planned to make the monitoring data effectively applied on future air quality management policy making as reference.
On the issue of promoting inter-departmental cooperation in Taiwan, this project assisted to organize at least 10 government departments together to take actions on air quality improvement and to input administrative resources, human resources or funding under the Clean Air Action Plan. Correspond to the goal of reducing PM2.5 unhealthy level, the statistical result showed the reduction is more than 10% in 2016, which is gradually toward to the goal of reducing 20% in 2017. Simultaneously, we reviewed air quality management related projects which were co-subsidized by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Ministry of Science and Technology and held three discussion forums in Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung, to promote and encourage the academic research institutions participate in the development of scientific technique on air pollution control.
This project analyzed international trends and held “Air Quality Management Consultation” in the United States to further enhance Taiwanese air quality management technique. Besides, air pollution and cross-border haze impact problems which are caused by the economic development or fire field farming custom of Southeast Asian countries highlights the importance of international cooperation in Asia Pacific region. This project played as role of communication platform. First, we identified the cooperation needs in Asia pacific region through investigating the air quality control issues among Asian countries. Second, we collected the highlights of air quality control achievements in Taiwan as materials to share with partners. Third, we followed the goals of International Environmental Partnership Program to organize the“2016 International Environmental Partnership - Cities Clean Air Partnership and Air pollution Control Strategies Exchange Workshop” which efficiently promoted four Southeast Asian city representatives, six Taiwanese city representatives, experts, and scholars to communicate and exchange opinions on air quality management issues.
