Q&A

Q1：When was the Center for Environmental Sustainability and Human Health (CESHH) established?  

A1：The Center for Environmental Sustainability and Human Health (CESHH) was established on December 15th, 2020

Q2：What is the purpose of the Center for Environmental Sustainability and Human Health (CESHH)?  

A2：To conduct research on emerging environmental issues in Taiwan and propose solutions to promote sustainably environmental development.

Q3：What are the research topics in the CESHH? 

A3：Research in the CESHH mainly on:

  1. Air quality monitoring and micro-analysis technology. It involves the development of technology in green chemical analysis and advanced technology in environmental monitoring, and to improve the analytical and detection capabilities of trace substances in the environment.
  2. Water regeneration and circular economy.It involves the development of novel materials for water resource treatment technology as well as valuable and precious metal recycling technology to achieve the goal of sustainable use of resources.
  3. Big data analysis in environmental monitoring applications.Long-term monitoring and analysis of PM2.5 components will be addressed using big data analysis. We have a database of specific PM 2.5 events, and we use environmental forensic technology to trace the possible sources of specific events.
  4. Exposure risk assessment and health promotion. It involves risk assessment of toxic matters on human health for health improvement. Cytotoxicity tests are conducted on Taiwan's local concerned chemical substances to understand their exposure risks and potential effects on human health.

Q4：How many research groups does the Center for Environmental Sustainability and Human Health (CESHH) have?

A4：There are two research groups, including:

  1. Environmental Monitoring and Inspection Group.
  2. Emerging Pollutants and Health Effects Group.

Q5：How many members does the Center for Environmental Sustainability and Human Health have?
