Center for Environmental Monitoring and Technology, NCU monitors air quality over the Western Pacific

The Lulin Atmospheric Background Station at National Central University, operational since 2006, monitors global greenhouse gas concentrations and atmospheric changes at a high-altitude site in Taiwan. It follows international standards and collaborates with NASA and the Asia Pacific Mercury Monitoring Network, providing critical data on long-range pollution, such as mercury emissions, and contributing to global environmental studies. The station's long-term data has bolstered Taiwan's role as a leader in environmental monitoring and fostered strong international partnerships.
