The sources of atmospheric particulate matter can be divided into primary and secondary pollutants, and those of primary particulate matter into pipeline emissions and fugitive emissions. Based on the data obtained from the Taiwan Emission Data System (TEDS 10.0 with 2016 as the base year), the distribution of PM10 and PM2.5 emissions by city/county in descending order is as follows: Kaohsiung City, Taichung City, Changhua County, Tainan City, New Taipei City, and Taoyuan City, with Kaohsiung City accounting for the most, followed by Taichung City. The emissions of primary pollutants (PM10) across the nation total 147,000 tons per year. In terms of fugitive emissions, construction and road dust accounts for 63.19% and industrial dust 15.23%, which totals 78.42%. As such, Taiwan’s control of particulate matter emissions targets sources of fugitive particulate matter emissions.
This research project primarily assists the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) in conducting an investigation into the current status of air pollution control facilities concerning sources of fugitive particulate matter emissions, review and revision of laws and regulations, and activation and deactivation of early warning reporting during periods of poor air quality, in order to prompt local governments to strengthen the implementation of pollution control, reaching the goal of improving air quality. The objectives of this project include:
1. Improve economic incentives for the reduction in fugitive particulate matter emissions, while revising laws and regulations pertaining to the control of fugitive particulate matter emissions, so as to implement an air pollution management system.
2. Draw up an air pollution improvement solution based on the results of the investigation into sources of fugitive particulate matter emissions over the years, so as to help local governments implement control over fugitive particulate matter emissions.
3. Improve the expandability of EPA’s construction and figurative emission source information system, while providing local administrative and technical support, in order to understand the effectiveness of fugitive particulate matter emission control.
This year we helped the EPA revise the Management Regulations for Construction Project Air Pollution Control Facilities and review the construction pollution control fee rate, while inviting experts and scholars to hold expert consulting meetings, where a draft for the revision of laws and regulations and a solution for revising the economic incentive rate for the reduction of fugitive particulate matter emissions were proposed. An inspection of 104 construction sites found them generally to be compliant with construction laws and regulations, among which 78 complied with regulations. An inspection of 104 public and private premises found them generally to be compliant with the laws and regulations pertaining to fugitive particulate matter emissions from stationary sources, among which 69 complied with regulations. Local governments shall strengthen their control over, and provide guidance to, those failing to implement laws and regulations, so as to make improvements. A total of 1,116 km of roads around counties and cities on Taiwan Island were inspected for pollution during periods of poor air quality; 178 road pollution cases were reported to environmental pollution bureaus. All the counties and cities shall make improvements and report the results within the specified period of time. An investigation into seven international commercial ports was also conducted to urge port administrations to improve operators’ implementation of loading/unloading operation and control of fugitive particulate matter emissions over traffic routes. An exchange format for the management information system for fugitive particulate matter emissions from stationary sources was created to provide local environmental protection agencies with an interface for their plug-in systems.
