Air pollution in Taiwan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Air pollution in Taiwan is mostly derived from sources of domestic combustion, primarily the burning of fossil fuels.[1] Taiwan's topography has been noted to be a contributing factor to its air pollution problem, leading to poor dispersal and trapping pollutants. Taipei, Taiwan's capital and largest city for example, is surrounded by mountains, and other industrial centers along the northern and western coasts of Taiwan are surrounded by high mountains.[2]
