Standards for Buffer Zones and Monitoring Facilities for Special Industrial Parks Revised

摘要

The EPA revised the Air Quality Standards for Buffer Zones and the Installation of Monitoring Facilities for Special Industrial Parks in order to make air quality monitoring regulations more comprehensive. The main points of the revisions are as follows: semi-conductor foundries, electro-optical material manufacturers, and related original component manufacturers will be classed as special industries for the purpose of air quality controls; special industrial parks will be required to have more air quality monitoring stations; and items to be monitored and frequency of monitoring will increase. Once the revisions take effect there will be a significant increase in air quality monitoring stations for special industrial parks, in the items to be monitored, and in the frequency of monitoring. This will provide for more thorough monitoring of air pollutant emissions in such parks.
