- Department：IOT
Research result：
The Sox and NOx air pollution substances spreading over the harbor area account for pretty high percentage in the emission in that area. To clarify, the competent harbor administration unit should share the responsibility in order to monitor the aforesaid pollutants.
The air quality monitoring station established by the EPA in Kaohsiung City is set for the generally required or transportation source items only and it is not installed in the harbor area. Therefore the competent harbor administration unit shall install its own monitoring system according to its needs.
As fine suspension particles (PM2.5), have been listed as the control target by the EPA, it will significantly affect the health of the people living in that area. In addition, these particles are also considered as key monitoring issue by the harbor administration.
Troubleshooting：
- With the AERMOD air quality diffusion mode recently announced by America’s EPA, it can be combined with the climate surveillance data and Taiwan Area vessel real-time data for completing the implementation of Kaohsiung Harbor Real-Time Air Quality Estimate System.
- Based on the terrestrial surveillance data, the pre-job processing work of climate data used for the mode can be implemented to establish the mechanism required or setting the height of Roche mixed layer.
- The estimate result of this system can be used as the reference for Taiwan International Ports Corp. Ltd. to execute the harbor area air quality control.
