The Center was officially established on December 15, 2019.

The Center aims to conduct in-depth research on emerging environmental issues currently facing Taiwan, and actively propose effective solutions to promote forward-looking sustainable environmental development.

Our academic research and technological development focus on the following four core areas:

• Air Quality Monitoring and Trace Analysis Technology: Dedicated to developing green chemical analysis techniques and advanced environmental monitoring methods to enhance the detection and analysis capabilities of trace substances in the environment.
• Water Reclamation and Circular Economy: Focusing on the development of novel materials, advanced water resource reclamation treatment processes, and valuable/precious metal recovery technologies to achieve resources sustainability.
• Big Data Analysis for Environmental Monitoring Applications: Conducting long-term monitoring and analysis of $\text{PM}_{2.5}$ components, establishing chemical profile databases for specific pollution events, and tracing potential pollution sources using environmental forensic techniques.
• Exposure Risk Assessment and Health Promotion: Performing cytotoxicity testing on chemical substances of high public concern in Taiwan to assess human exposure risks and potential health effects.

The Center comprises 2 specialized research divisions:

• Division of Environmental Monitoring and Testing Services
• Division of Emerging Pollutants and Health Effects

Core Staff: Includes 3 Center Advisors, 1 Center Director (concurrent faculty appointment), 2 Division Heads (concurrent faculty appointments), 5 Postdoctoral Researchers, and 1 Technician serving concurrently as an Administrative Assistant.

Cross-Institutional Researchers: Currently, there are 20 faculty members actively participating in the Center's academic research, distributed across the following universities:

• Ming Chi University of Technology: 14 faculty members
• Chang Gung University: 3 faculty members
• Chang Gung University of Science and Technology: 3 faculty members

The Center's main office is located on the 2nd Floor of the General Building (Room 204), directly across from the elevator exit.

The Center operates 5 professional laboratories on the 2nd Floor of the General Building. The spatial layout is as follows:

Room Number	Laboratory Name
Room 207	Inorganic Analysis Laboratory
Room 208	Organic Analysis Laboratory
Room 209	Pretreatment Laboratory
Room 210	Biological Analysis Laboratory
Room 211	Physical Analysis Laboratory

For the detailed list of instruments, configurations, and technical specifications, please visit the official website:
[Center for Environmental Sustainability and Human Health - Research Equipment Section]

1. Training and Assessment: First-time applicants must undergo operation training prior to using any instruments (training schedules are arranged by the center's technician). Independent operation is permitted only after passing the assessment by the center's technician.
2. Eligibility Restrictions: Except for major large-scale instrumentation with an acquisition cost of NT$5 million or above (which must be operated exclusively by dedicated personnel), all other equipment is open to applications from laboratory members of affiliated faculty with relevant expertise.
3. Equipment Malfunction Protocol: In the event of instrument malfunctions, the center's technician will coordinate repair schedules and notify applicants of adjustable alternative time slots.

All instruments operate under a strict advance reservation system. Applications must be submitted to the Center's office one week prior to the intended use. The basic unit for a reservation slot is 4 hours per session. Final scheduling is subject to approval by the center's technician.

Please visit the official website of the Center and navigate to the "Form Download / Document Center" section to download the appropriate application form based on your access cycle. Once filled out, the form must be sequentially signed and approved by your Advising Professor / Laboratory Supervisor / Center Director before access permissions can be activated.

You must strictly comply with the following safety and hygiene protocols:

1. Lab coats must be worn at all times inside the laboratory.
2. Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (e.g., safety goggles, gloves) must be worn based on experimental requirements.
3. Any equipment that is actively running or heating must be clearly labeled with a notice sign (e.g., "In Use", "Heating") to prevent accidental touch or shutdown by others.
4. After completing experiments, please return all equipment and utensils to their proper positions and thoroughly clean the work area. Before leaving, ensure that water, electricity, air conditioning, lights, and windows are completely turned off or closed.

※ For detailed rules, please strictly follow the "Laboratory Management Rules" published by the university's Environmental and Safety Health Office.

The Center's laboratories are fully equipped with safety protection resources to handle emergency responses:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Safety goggles, activated carbon masks, Level-C chemical protective suits, and acid/alkali-resistant gloves.
• Environmental Emergency Equipment: Absorbent pads/pillows and gas detection systems.
• Medical First-Aid Supplies: First-aid kits (containing cotton swabs, sterile gauze, iodine solution, medical tape, and adhesive bandages/band-aids).
