Air Pollution Control Act Article 3

Terms used in the Act are defined as follows:1.Air pollutants: They refer to airborne substances sufficient to jeopardize directly or indirectly public health or the living environment.2.Pollution sources: They refer to physical or chemical operating units that emit air pollutants. Pollution sources are classified as follows:(1)Mobile pollution sources: They refer to the pollution sources that are able to change location in terms of their own power.(2)Stationary pollution sources: They refer to the pollution sources other than mobile pollution sources.3.Motor vehicles: They refer to vehicles traveling on a roadway by their own power and not dependent on rail or electric power systems, including motorcycles.4.Living environment: It refers to property, animals and plants and their dependent environments that have a close relationship with the lives of humans.5.Emission standards: They refer to the maximum concentration or the total quantity allowed for air pollutants or the emissions allowed per unit of raw materials, fuels or products.6.Air quality standards: They refer to the concentration limits for air pollutants in outdoor air.7.Air pollution control zones (hereinafter referred to as control zones): They refer to all classes of control zones delineated based on the demands placed upon air quality by land use within a region or in accordance with current air quality conditions.8.Nature protection and conservation areas: They refer to ecological conservation areas, nature reserves, wildlife preserves and national forest preserves.9.Cap and trade: It refers to the restrictive measures imposed to control the total allowable emissions of air pollutants within a specific area in order to improve air quality effectively.10.Cap-and-trade zones: They refer to the areas delineated based on topographical and meteorological conditions and in accordance with the total quantity control requirements.11.Control technologies: They refer to pollutant reduction technologies adopted to reduce air pollutants from stationary pollution sources. Major categories of control technologies are stated as follows:(1)best available control technology: It refers to the commercialized technology that provides the greatest available reduction in pollutant emissions and that pollution sources, after taking into account energy, environmental and economic impacts and other costs.(2)lowest achievable emission rate control technology: It refers to the technology adopted to reduce air pollutant emissions from pollution sources to the lowest achievable emission rate using scientific methods after the impact on energy, environment, economy and health is considered.12.Idle: When the engine of a motor vehicle is operating continuously while the vehicle is stationary.13.Air quality maintenance zones: Air quality maintenance zones refer to the specific zones where mobile pollution sources are restricted or prohibited for maintenance of air quality.14.Volatile organic compound containing chemicals: The chemicals refer to any materials, products or articles containing volatile organic compounds.
中文原文 空氣污染防制法第3條
本法用詞,定義如下:
一、空氣污染物:指空氣中足以直接或間接妨害國民健康或生活環境之物質。
二、污染源:指排放空氣污染物之物理或化學操作單元,其類別如下:
(一)移動污染源:指因本身動力而改變位置之污染源。
(二)固定污染源:指移動污染源以外之污染源。
三、汽車:指在道路上不依軌道或電力架設,而以原動機行駛之車輛,包括機車。
四、生活環境:指與人之生活有密切關係之財產、動、植物及其生育環境。
五、排放標準:指排放廢氣所容許混存各種空氣污染物之最高濃度、總量或單位原(物)料、燃料、產品之排放量。
六、空氣品質標準:指室外空氣中空氣污染物濃度限值。
七、空氣污染防制區(以下簡稱防制區):指視地區土地利用對於空氣品質之需求,或依空氣品質現況,劃定之各級防制區。
八、自然保護(育)區:指生態保育區、自然保留區、野生動物保護區及國有林自然保護區。
九、總量管制:指在一定區域內,為有效改善空氣品質,對於該區域空氣污染物總容許排放數量所作之限制措施。
十、總量管制區:指依地形及氣象條件,按總量管制需求劃定之區域。
十一、控制技術:指固定污染源為減少空氣污染物所採取之污染減量技術,主要類別如下:
(一)最佳可行控制技術:指考量能源、環境、經濟之衝擊後,污染源應採取之已商業化並可行污染排放最大減量技術。
(二)最低可達成排放率控制技術:指考量能源、環境、經濟、健康等衝擊後,並依據科學方法,污染源應採取之減少污染物排放至最低排放率之技術。
十二、怠速:指汽車停車時,維持引擎持續運轉之情形。
十三、空氣品質維護區:指為維護空氣品質,得限制或禁止移動污染源使用之特定區域。
十四、含揮發性有機物化學製品:指經使用有排放揮發性有機物之任何物質、產品或物品。
