Due to the characteristics of engine operation, diesel vehicles are prone to emit PM2.5, which accounts for 19.3% of Taoyuan city’s total emissions. In addition, owing to its huge impact on health, the World Health Organization has listed PM2.5 as a first-class carcinogen. Thus, this plan implements a number of pollution controls on diesel vehicles to actively monitor air quality.
Relevant control measures include roadside inspections, site inspections, dynamometer testing, planning and implementing the work projects of Taoyuan City Pollution Prevention and Control Plan, joint inspection operations of air quality zones in four northern cities in response to the deterioration of air quality, and promoting vehicle owners to develop regular maintenance and inspections to obtain the self-management mark announced by the Environmental Protection Administration. In addition to these, in accordance with Taoyuan City’s local government ordinances and regulations on the Development of a Low-Carbon Green City, the city’s operators of diesel vehicles over 22 years old are notified for inspection to reduce the impact of highly polluting vehicles on the air quality of the city.
To maintain the fairness of the inspection and the validity of the Taiwan Accreditation Foundation certification, an extended evaluation work was conducted in 2021 to improve related deficiencies raised by the committee, and the certificate was extended to April 18, 2024. Furthermore, to enhance the professional knowledge of inspectors, 5 internal education training sessions have already been held this year, with topics including preliminary education training, occupational safety and health, precautions for vehicle condition inspection, laboratory measurement uncertainty, and environmental protection inspection regulations.
This plan implements the operation of environmental education facilities, including 8 teaching activities, 2 foreign visit and exchange, new additions and amendments to the curriculum plan, teaching assistant training and assessment authorization, partnership promotion, production of promotion products, etc., with the aim of promoting environmental education and enticing all age groups, through focused education, to pay attention to air quality.
