Air
Quality Monitoring Network of Hong Kong
The air
quality monitoring network in Hong Kong of the Environmental
Protection Department (EPD) comprises fourteen fixed monitoring
stations as of July 1999 to meet the following objectives:-
- To
understand air pollution problems in order that cost-effective
policies and solutions can be developed;
- To
assess how far standards and targets are being achieved
or violated;
- To
assist the assessment of public's exposure to air pollution;
and
- To
provide public information on current and forecast air quality.
The network
is designed and operated to meet the highest international
standards. It is
certified by the Hong Kong Laboratory Accreditation Scheme.
In addition
to the EPD's stations, other independent monitoring units
are operated, for example, those being operated by the power
companies in order to assess the air quality impact of their
power stations.
