President's Office 6.1.1 Health Care 203-1 413-1 (1) Health Risk Assessment Since 2009, FPG has commissioned National Cheng Kung University to carry out a health risk assessment program concerning specific types of hazardous air pollutants. A total of 64 specific types of hazardous air pollutants have been assessed for health risks. The initial regions under evaluation encompassed an area of 30km 30km around the Sixth × Naphtha Cracking Industrial Park, including Mailiao, Taixi, Dongshi, Lunbei, Baozhong, Tukou, and Sihu Townships in Yunlin County and Dacheng Township in Changhua County. 134 Formosa Plastics Corporation 6 Based on simulation results, the average Benchmark of International Cancer Risk Assessment cancer risk was 5.07 10-7, while the × highest cancer risk was 6.38 10-6, × with both values lying between 10-6 and Unacceptable 10-4 Acceptable 10-6 Negligible 10-4. As the maximum non-cancer risk is lower than 1, the impact on human health is considered to be within an acceptable range. (2) Health and Care FPG established Yunlin Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in December 2009 and has been providing local residents with comprehensive medical services. In 2010, FPG integrated the medical and educational resources of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital to promote health education and disease prevention among local residents with hospitals, communities and schools, thereby promoting Mailiao Township as a model of a healthy community. Community Health Promotion Structure in Mailiao Township Beautiful Promoting a Healthy Model Vision for New World Yunlin's Coastal Communities Health Promotion Plan for Pregnant Women, Children, Adolescents, Adults, and the Elderly Residence School Increase the rate Increase the rate of a balanced diet of regular exercise Increase the rate Reduce the rate of of stress relief tobacco, alcohol, and betel nut use Reduce the rate Improve the Living Hospital Health of obesity Standard Administration System Development Builders of Shared Health Research Health Survey Establish and Trend of residents’ health maintain a health Health issues of residents database and communities Analyze health Care measures data Share results of health research Health Examination Health Care Abnormality control Improve medical quality Increase revisit Improve residents’ rates health Diagnosis and Facilitate cooperation treatment between private and Annual follow-up public organizations 135 A. Improving the Quality of Medical Services in Mailiao Township Located in Mailiao Township along the coast of Yunlin, where medical resources are the most insufficient, Yunlin Chang Gung Memorial Hospital has been open since December 2009 to offer 24-hour emergency services along the coast. As of 2018, Yunlin Chang Gung Memorial Hospital has a medical team of 300 personnel and 522 hospital beds and offers 25 specialist fields of Western medicine and Chinese medicine outpatient services. In 2018, Yunlin Chang Gung Memorial Hospital offered medical services to 134,279 outpatients and 14,704 emergency patients, with a total of 17,279 hospitalization days. The scope and scale of its services shall continue to expand in order to improve the quality of medical services of Yunlin County coastal regions. B. Free Health Checkups for Mailiao Residents To express our concern and provide medical assistance, FPG Mailiao Industrial Complex has commissioned Yunlin Chang Gung Memorial Hospital to offer free health checkups to the residents of Mailiao and Taixi townships every year since 2010. In 2018, 10,090 residents from both townships participated in these health checkups, with 722 residents exhibiting abnormal health examination results, so that they could understand their health, discover the threats of potential diseases, and receive early treatment. C. Health Promotion for Mailiao Residents Since 2010, FPG Mailiao Industrial Complex has been engaging in health promotion among residents together with Chang Gung University of Science and Technology and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. In 2018, 10,590 residents participated in community health education; FPC assisted 454 patients with hepatitis C with medical care and organized a tobacco hazard prevention course for 1,372 junior high school students. Residents in the two townships participated actively and improved their bad habits. Health checkup results showed consistent improvement in their health. 6.1.2 Local Industry Development 201-1 203-1 The Sixth Naphtha Cracking Industrial Park is located in Mailiao Township, where the residents make a living through agriculture and aquaculture. Mailiao Township has transformed into quality agriculture and exported agricultural and fishery products, such as lettuce, burdock, clams, Yamato clam, eel, oyster mushroom, etc. to Japan. Taking lettuce for example, lettuce grown in Mailiao Township accounts for 70% of Taiwan's export to Japan. It is also supplied to chain stores such as McDonald's, KFC, Mos Burger, and FamilyMart in Taiwan. Only because the Sixth Naphtha Cracking Industrial Park did not affect the local air quality and water quality in Mailiao Township, it was possible to produce quality lettuce for export to Japan In addition, lettuce is also exported to Korea and Singapore, which proves that the industry and agriculture can coexist and prosper at the same time. (1) Agricultural Counseling 1. Quality Improvement of Agricultural Products and Agricultural Strategy Counseling FPG has commissioned Chaoyang University of Science and Technology to implement Quality Improvement of Agricultural Products and Farm Operation Strategy Counseling. The counseling initiative has covered seven townships, including Mailiao, Taixi, Dongshi, Sihu, Baozhong, Dacheng, and Lunbei. As of 2018, which is also the 8th year running, 219 farming households have received counseling and guidance through scientific cultivation techniques to solve their problems with cultivation. Compared to previous years, the production capacity and quality showed improvements after such counseling. 136 Formosa Plastics Corporation 6 The counseling is conducted through the corporation between the industry and academia; FPG has commissioned Chaoyang University of Science and Technology to implement this integrated initiative based on the five topics, namely soil fertility survey, healthy cultivation management, climate data analysis, pesticide residue inspection, and agriculture economy. Through a science-based approach, the professional team introduces a concept of healthy cultivation with scientific management and less pesticides and less fertilizers to produce quality and safe produce. The team aims to create a brand that can increase the revenue and living environment of farmers. The counseling team assists farmers in understanding soil fertility through soil fertility testing, recommends the use of organic fertilizers to improve soil conditions, and guides farmers to apply appropriate fertilization by reference to soil fertility. Furthermore, the team has also gradually changed the original farming concept of large-scale fertilization adopted by farmers, through technology improvement methods, such as the use of preventive supplies to reduce the use of pesticides. After such counseling, the yield on crops, along with the quality, was better than the average across Yunlin County. Apart from recommendations on fertilization, the team has also provided irrigation water quality analysis, text messages on weather information and feedback on economic analysis, enabling farmers to understand and master the environmental conditions during farming, and even to prevent such conditions early. In addition to the improvement of the quality and output of farmers' harvests, the positive results of this counseling initiative are also achieved in terms of the 100% passing rate of the pesticide residue inspection, showing the achievement of safe agriculture. Besides improving cultivation techniques, this initiative has also assisted farmers in obtaining the organic certification and agricultural product traceability certification in the hope of further increasing their revenue. This year, FPG further contacted farmers under counseling to sell their products through Formosa Environmental Technology Corporation under FPG. In

  • An Assessment on the Ministry of Education's Air Pollution Prevention
    An Assessment on the Ministry of Education’s Air Pollution Prevention and Control： Strategies Proven to be Effective, School Children’s Health are Being Safeguarded (Courtesy of Qiu-Chan Qiu at the Division of Student Affairs and Campus Security) To envision effective and economically viable indoor and outdoor air pollution prevention and control strategies, the Ministry of Education has commissioned a team from the National Cheng Kung University to undertake a one-and-a-half-year project of "Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation of Effectiveness of School Air Pollution Prevention and Control Strategies" in May 2018. In particular, the “fresh air ventilation system” can effectively restore 100 percent of the indoor carbon dioxide to its standard value; the average rate of PM2.5 pollution in the classrooms with the system installed also improved as much as 70 percent. From October 2019, in response to the incoming season of severe air pollution (the autumn and winter seasons from October to March), a post assessment on the indoor air quality at school will be performed on a trial basis, and a complete report on the effectiveness of the implementation of the air pollution prevention and control measures will be put forward in early 1 2020 to persuade the Executive Yuan and the Environmental Protection Administration to implement the measures on a larger scale. To understand the effectiveness of this pilot project, Sun-Lu Fan, Political Deputy Minister of Education and Fu-Yuan Peng, Director-General of K-12 Education Administration of the Ministry of Education, led a team to the Yunlin County Yang Ming Elementary School on the morning of September 16, 2019 to observe the effectiveness of the school air pollution prevention and control strategies.

    Tectonophysics 578 (2012) 126–135 Contents lists available at SciVerse ScienceDirect Tectonophysics journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/tecto Assessments of serious anthropogenic land subsidence in Yunlin County of central Taiwan from 1996 to 1999 by Persistent Scatterers InSAR Hsin Tung, Jyr-Ching Hu ⁎ Department of Geosciences, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan article info abstract Article history: Anthropogenic ground subsidence due to massive pumping of groundwater is one of the severe environmen- Received 30 November 2010 tal hazards in Taiwan. The Yunlin County located in the southwestern coastal region of Taiwan is one of the Received in revised form 9 August 2012 most counties with serious land subsidence because of the agricultural needs. In certain areas of the region, Accepted 9 August 2012 the subsidence rate reaches as much as 14.3 cm/yr. The severe land subsidence gives rise to the risk of flood Available online 18 August 2012 hazard and damage of infrastructures in this area. We represented a Persistent Scatterers InSAR (PSInSAR) results deduced from 1996 to 1999 time span for monitoring of land subsidence in this area. The PSInSAR Keywords: Land subsidence results show that Baojhou, Tuku and Yuanchang Townships reveal a maximum subsidence rate of about PSInSAR 7.8 cm/yr along the LOS and Lunbei Township located on the northern Yunlin reveals a subsidence rate of Precise leveling 3.5 cm/yr, which is quite coincident with the precise leveling result. This result has proven that the effective Groundwater pumping reduction of labor and cost could be achieved by using this technique on monitoring land subsidence in Natural hazards Yunlin County.
