Odor pollution from factories in Tainan’s Liuying Technology Industrial Park and Environmental Science and Technology Park has long troubled nearby communities. In response to years of complaints, both industrial operators and the Tainan City Government have introduced new investments, monitoring technologies, and regulatory measures aimed at reducing emissions and improving local air quality.
Major Investments by Companies in Odor‑Control Technology
Several companies operating inside the park have committed substantial funding to pollution‑control upgrades.
Waste‑treatment operators have each pledged roughly NT$200 million to upgrade emissions‑control systems. The improvements include:
Secondary heating systems to further treat exhaust gases
Scrubber towers that wash pollutants and odor compounds from emissions
Plant‑wide negative‑pressure systems designed to keep odors contained within facilities rather than escaping into surrounding neighborhoods
Together, these upgrades are intended to reduce odor release, capture pollutants before they disperse, and improve overall emission control during industrial processing.
In addition, a feed‑production company in the park invested approximately NT$27 million to install dust‑collection equipment that captures particulate matter at the source, preventing airborne pollution and improving working conditions in the plant.

AI monitoring detected 47 abnormal stack‑emission events between April and July 2025, leading to 32 penalties and targeted enforcement as officials responded to long‑standing complaints from nearby communities.
Officials describe these investments as a combined strategy focused on odor control, dust interception, and pollutant reduction, rather than relying solely on end‑of‑pipe enforcement measures.
Government Monitoring and Enforcement Since 2025
Beginning in April 2025, the Tainan City Government introduced a more coordinated approach to managing pollution from the industrial park.
Key measures include:
Monthly cross‑agency meetings involving the Economic Development Bureau, Environmental Protection Bureau, Agriculture Bureau, and Labor Affairs Bureau to track air‑quality improvements and coordinate enforcement.
AI‑powered monitoring systems designed to detect abnormal smoke emissions from factory stacks in real time.
Daily patrols and targeted inspections in areas identified as odor “hot spots.”
Odor inspections and workplace environment monitoring to identify sources of emissions and ensure compliance with regulations.
Between April and July 2025, the AI monitoring system flagged 47 abnormal smoke‑emission events. Follow‑up inspections confirmed violations in multiple cases, resulting in 32 penalties issued to factories for exceeding air‑pollution or waste‑management regulations.
Beginning in September 2025, factories that had received repeated penalties were required to attend government air‑pollution meetings and present plans explaining how they would correct the problems. Officials said the process also helps authorities better understand factory production processes and odor sources.
Responding to Community Complaints
The odor issue has affected neighborhoods surrounding the industrial park for years. Residents report that wind direction strongly influences where smells travel—for example, southerly winds often push odors toward communities north of the park, while northerly winds affect settlements to the south.
To respond to these complaints, the city has combined:
AI monitoring and sensor networks
targeted inspections of pollution hot spots
stricter enforcement and penalties
ongoing coordination with factories to upgrade equipment
Officials report that the approach has begun to show results, with some local leaders noting noticeable improvements in odor conditions around the park after the new measures were introduced.
Nearby schools have also taken protective measures. For example, Chongxi Elementary School installed a fresh‑air filtration system, which local reports say has helped reduce odor intrusion on campus.
A Long‑Term Effort to Balance Industry and Air Quality
Despite these improvements, officials emphasize that controlling odor pollution in a large industrial park requires ongoing monitoring, technological upgrades, and cooperation between regulators and companies. The current strategy combines:
major private investment in pollution‑control equipment
government use of AI and environmental sensors
coordinated enforcement across multiple city departments
Authorities say the effort will continue as the city works to balance industrial development with improved environmental quality for nearby residents.
