In order to investigate Taiwan industries which potentially produce heavy metal mercury during their operational processes and to reduce the amount of mercury concentrations being produced. Taiwan EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is in the process of putting the project “The three-year mercury reduction plan” in action. Three strategies are simultaneously taking into actions to thoroughly reduce mercury pollution : the controlling of the original polluters, investigation of potential mercury-contained industries and mercury reduction from the environment. Therefore, on its second year phase “The investigation of potential mercury-contained industrial wastewater discharges”, it is to continue understanding the various usage of mercury and its compounds and the subsequent shipping and handling of the waste. Statistical analysis is utilized for the final results.
This project focuses on the investigation of the 50 potential mercury-polluting industries determined by Taiwan EPA. Main strategy focuses on the check up of the wastewater treatment facilities and their operational procedures of categorized industries, and wastewater samplings were also undertaken. The results can be further analyzed to help to achieve the mercury reduction goal. Resulting data are also to be provided to those potential mercury-polluting industries to persuade the proper handling of the mercury waste to prevent its subsequent pollution in the environment.
