“…Gargava and Aggarwal (1996) have discussed the impact of industrial activities on the air environment in a coastal region of India, as a case study. Bizjak et al (1996) have studied the air quality of surroundings of the Salnit industrial plant, Anhovo, Slovenia and concluded that the concentration of airborne inorganic fibers was reduced due to the partial replacement of asbestos with alternative materials. Gytarsky et al (1995) studied the effect of industrial pollution on subarctic forest in Russia.…”

The results of spatial and temporal distribution of acidic and basic air pollutants in ambient air around Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park (SBIP), Taiwan during August 2000 to October 2001 are presented. The sampling was performed on 13 different sites around the SBIP for 12 hrs each every month, and a total of 195 samples were collected. The effect of geographical and meteorological conditions, and production volume of the SBIP on the variation of pollutant's concentration was investigated. The spatial distribution shows that comparatively higher concentration of pollutants was found on the sites, which are either low in altitude such as the WS (west-southern) part of SBIP, in the downwind location or close to the factories. In case the wind velocity was low, i.e. below 2 m s −1 , the concentration of pollutant tended to increase and became uniformly distributed around the science park. The temporal distribution shows a decrease in ambient concentration of pollutants from February to June 2001, mainly due to the decline in the production volume of the SBIP in this period. During the whole period of investigation, the concentration of most of the species (except HF) was found to be lower than the factory-surrounding air quality standard of Taiwan, but in some cases it was higher than the AALG.
