For instance the EPA’s daily air quality forecasts, just like weather forecasts, are something people look at before they leave their house in the morning and throughout the day. The EPA’s Bureau of Environmental Monitoring and Data Processing is responsible for air quality monitoring and issues these forecasts. Apart from strengthening monitoring quality and continuing to improve its equipment, the Bureau of Environmental Monitoring and Data Processing is also planning the creation of a national environmental database over the next ten years. When completed, this database will provide the public with answers to routine environmental quality queries and will be used to support environmental education and public awareness.
The Bureau of Environmental Monitoring and Data Processing serves as the EPA’s technical staff and is responsible for environmental monitoring, providing environmental information, and updating and preserving data. The public is most familiar with the air quality forecasts that the Bureau publishes in the media every day. The Bureau collects air quality data at monitoring stations throughout Taiwan; although it consists of only a few brief figures, this is the EPA’s information service that connects most directly with people’s lives and brings them the most immediate convenience.
The EPA Bureau of Environmental Monitoring and Data Processing will provide even more services starting this year. Other than using its professional expertise in information technology to support and integrate environmental databases established by the EPA’s various service bureaus and implement interdepartmental computerization of documents, the Bureau will also be taking a brand new approach to maintaining and upgrading monitoring equipment and tabulating and analyzing data.
In particular, Director General Young Chea-yuan (楊之遠) has announced that the Bureau will focus its efforts on the following areas:
1. Replacement of the Taiwan-wide air quality monitoring network and improvement of monitoring functions:
The 66 automatic air quality monitoring stations established by the EPA in 1993 have been in operation for nearly a decade, during which time they have successfully provided air quality data—including baseline data and multi-year trends—for the whole of Taiwan. These stations’ equipment will be gradually replaced over a four-year period, after which they will be able to detect such items as ozone precursors, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and carbon dioxide. This represents a significant enhancement of the system’s functioning.
2. Intensive monitoring of dust storms in China (see feature article, EPM Vol. IV, Issue 9):
Since dust storms in China are having an increasingly severe influence on air quality in Taiwan, the EPA has organized scientists and researchers at domestic academic institutions and made available equipment for use in the “Intensive Chinese Dust Storm Observation Project.” This project will consist of intensive high-resolution spatial and temporal monitoring of Chinese dust during the spring of this year (January to May) in an effort to determine whether dust from China may affect Taiwan. The project will also conduct health assessment and forecasting tasks.
The implementation of this project will enable the EPA to establish an early warning system for dust blown in from China. In addition, satellite data analysis, lidar monitoring, and automatic and manual sampling and monitoring of particulate matter (PM10) promise to provide a much clearer understanding of the effect of Chinese dust on air quality in Taiwan, which in turn will guide the EPA’s future response measures.
3. Project to integrate water quality monitoring:
To keep tabs on the quality of water in the environment, over the years local environmental authorities and the EPA’s various bureaus and offices have monitored rivers and waterways, reservoirs, groundwater and the sea. But in the absence of a single agency possessing overall coordination and management duties, and due to the broad scope of bodies of water, it has proved hard to delineate zones of responsibility, and the coordination of operations and integration of data have always consumed an overly large share of administrative resources. In addition, this situation has had a negative impact on the quality, continuity and integrity of data.
Facing up to these circumstances, beginning this year the EPA is striving to better integrate resources and safeguard the quality of data by placing water management work under centralized management. Under this scheme the EPA will issue contracts for the monitoring of 83 rivers and waterways, 58 reservoirs, 342 groundwater wells, 97 locations at sea, and 10 coastal recreation spots in northern, central and southern Taiwan. Centralized management will strengthen oversight of data quality and clearly demarcate the scope of local bodies of water, avoiding redundant sampling, using monitoring resources in a more effective manner and simplifying administrative load.
4. Updating of the EPA website:
The EPA’s website has presented a new face to the world since the beginning of this year. Besides making queries more convenient, the homepage now features brand-new visual effects and an updated classification system better meeting user needs. Content includes more extensive profiles of the EPA’s bureaus and offices, audiovisual presentations by top executives, and more images of important environmental protection installations. For instance, there is a 720° dynamic image of the National Institute of Environmental Analysis and a three-dimensional view of the Lutsao Incinerator (鹿草焚化爐).
To find out about users’ preferences and provide environmental information fitting needs even more closely, a questionnaire survey form is posted on the website. To ensure complete and correct information, each of the EPA’s bureaus has assigned an employee to bear responsibility for web site maintenance and regular follow-up. The EPA hopes that its new website format will be even more effective at disseminating environmental information and fostering policy dialog.
Resource Sharing and Public Service—EPA to Establish an Environmental Database
To effectively integrate nationwide environmental data and information, enhance the real effectiveness of the government’s environmental protection and sustainable development decision-making and uphold the principles of information sharing and openness, the EPA is enlisting the support of industry, government, universities and research institutions, applying the newest information technologies, and utilizing systematic and standardized methods for the purpose of planning and compiling a nationwide environmental database. The participants of the Economic Development Advisory Conference also resolved to support the establishment of this environmental database.
According to Director-General Young, the database project has the four goals of establishing an environmental database framework, planning an environmental database compilation organization, establishing a data interpretation and data quality control system, and drafting standards for management and publication of data and information.
After completing planning of a database framework and implementation organization last year the EPA then organized an “Environmental Database Steering Committee.” This steering committee, under the National Council for Sustainable Development, is headed by EPA Deputy Administrator Lin Ta-hsiung and overseen by the Bureau of Environmental Monitoring and Data Processing. Apart from assigning relevant units responsibility for collecting data and compiling environmental databases, the steering committee is also exchanging environmental information with other government agencies and establishing sharing and coordination mechanisms.
Starting this year the database project is being implemented by government agencies, research organizations and private firms. Under the two-stage implementation format, the first stage will include the integration and filing of environmental data and the upgrading of hardware. This stage, scheduled to last until 2005, will also see the development of data management systems responsible for interpretation and quality control. The collected data will eventually be made available for public query and application. During the second stage, scheduled to last from 2006 to 2010, the body of data will be expanded and deepened; the focus of efforts will shift to the development of service systems and value-added applications.
When completed, the environmental database will be able to meet the needs of various kinds of forecasting applications. These will eventually include an “Environmental Protection Strategy Planning System” to assist decision-making, an “Environmental Information Sharing System” meeting the environmental information needs of other government agencies, environmental protection organizations, and international cooperation organizations, and an “Environmental Information Publication System” providing routine environmental quality information and educational news, strengthening data circulation at government agencies, and supplying agencies with needed environmental data. In addition, a “Sustainable Development Decision-Making Support System” will be developed to supply the environmental information needed to assist and support sustainable development research.
As for whether the database will overlap with databases compiled by other agencies, the EPA stresses that because each agency has its own distinct sphere of authority, this will not occur. The creation of the environmental database will involve communication and coordination with various agencies, and data will be exchanged, integrated, and shared. This process of drawing on each organization’s strengths will rule out any overlap.
