戴奧辛(PCDDs)和呋喃(PCDFs)具有高脂溶性、不易被分解、微揮發等特性，持為久性有機汙染物，它們能進入生物體，造成生物累積毒性與生物放大毒性。此外，由於持久性有機污染物能在環境與生物體中長期存在，且經過沉降作用而進入環境大氣中。而此現象通常是季節性的過程，並一再反覆的進行，因此能經由大氣傳輸遍佈於全世界每個角落。為了瞭解戴奧辛和呋喃之分佈情形，本研究利用台灣環保署東部之氣象資料，將台灣東部之宜蘭和冬山地區之PM10去回歸分析出戴奧辛/呋喃之濃度，模擬乾沉降通量及濕沉降通量，取得東部之宜蘭和冬山地區周界大氣中戴奧辛/呋喃之乾濕沉降通量。研究模擬結果顯示，氣象條件包括降雨、溫度、風速、PM10等等為模擬乾濕沉降通量之重要因子，氣溫上升會導致乾沉降通量下降，而雨量與濕沉降通量則有高度之正相關。此外，由資料結果顯示，佔較高比例之戴奧辛/呋喃主要由1,2,3,7,8-PeCCD, 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF, 1,2,3,6,7,8-HxCDF 1,2,3,7,8,9-HxCDF, 1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDF及1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF為主，由此可知，含氯數與粒狀物沉降特性等因素亦有顯著之影響。
　　　由實驗模擬得之，東部宜蘭地區於2014及2015戴奧辛/呋喃之模擬濃度，介於0.0057-0.011 pg 及0.0058-0.11 pg WHO2005-TEQ Nm-3之間;而東部冬山地區戴奧辛/呋喃於2014及2015年戴奧辛/呋喃之模擬濃度，介於0.0055-0.11 pg 及0.0045-0.31 pg WHO2005-TEQ Nm-3之間。在2014及2015此兩年內，由於戴奧辛/呋喃濃度之比值大部分皆小於1，呋喃(PCDFs)比例較高，為主要之毒性物質。
　　　東部宜蘭地區於2014及2015年時，戴奧辛/呋喃之乾沉降通量(月)介於5.70-60.1及4.3-52.2 WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1;而東部冬山地區於2014及2015年時，戴奧辛/呋喃之乾沉降通量(月)介於4.8-59.7 及2.1-49.1 WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1。在濕沉降通量方面，東部宜蘭地區於2014及2015年時，戴奧辛/呋喃之濕沉降通量(月)介於6.2-50.4及6.5-45.4 WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1之間;而東部冬山地區於2014及2015年時，戴奧辛/呋喃之濕沉降通量(月)介於2.5-74.2及3.5-112.3 WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1之間。宜蘭地區之戴奧辛/呋喃濕沉降通量(年)於2014年及2015年為563.7及498.6 WHO2005-TEQ m-2 year-1; 冬山地區之戴奧辛/呋喃濕沉降通量(年)於2014年及2015年為578.2及560.3 WHO2005-TEQ m-2 year-1.
　　　宜蘭地區於2014年時戴奧辛/呋喃之月乾沉降與月濕沉降總和通 量介於19.8-95.4 WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1，而在2015年為17.7-71.4 WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1;冬山地區於2014年時戴奧辛/呋喃之月乾沉降與月濕沉降總和通量通量介於11.3-133.7 WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1，而在2015年通量介於8.84-120.5 WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1。
　　　因台灣最近幾年懸浮粒子PM之濃度越來越高，可能導致戴奧辛(PCDDs)及呋喃(PCDFs)濃度也提高，為了解決此問題，必須將戴奧辛/呋喃等資料建立的更加完整。再配合其他的研究進行統整，將戴奧辛/呋喃之相關管理及決策變得更加專業，讓台灣之環境變得更美好。

　　　Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are resistant to environmental degradation through chemical, biological, and photolytic processes, which can undergo long range transport in the atmosphere. Because of their persistence, PCDD/Fs have significant potential impacts on human health and the environment including endocrines disruption. Thus, the PCDD/Fs are so-called carcinogenic persistent organic compounds (POPs).
　　　To understand the Distribution characteristics of PCDD/Fs of Yilan and Downsha in the atmosphere. This study utilizes the meteorological data of the Eastern Environmental Quality Monitoring Station of the Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency. The relative concentration of dioxin / furan was analyzed by regression analysis of PM10 in Yilan and Dongshan areas of eastern Taiwan and dry and wet deposition fluxes were derived by using the meteorological information, such as rainfall, wind speed, temperature and PM concentration and the PCDD/F concentrations to simulate dry deposition and wet deposition and gas-particle partition modeling. This study shows meteorological conditions are important factors affecting dry and wet deposition. Dry deposition fluxes was increase as the ambient air temperature decreased and the number of chlorine on PCDD/Fs. Besides, rainfall is positively correlated with wet deposition flux which the higher rainfall intensity, the higher wet deposition flux. From PCDD/F-WHO2005-TEQ total deposition fluxes, 1,2,3,7,8-PeCCD, 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF, 1,2,3,6,7,8-HxCDF 1,2,3,7,8,9-HxCDF, 1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDF及1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF dominate the deposition fluxes.
　　　The PCDD/F concentration during 2014 and 2015, at Yilan, ranged between 0.0057-0.011 pg and 0.00583-0.11 pg WHO2005-TEQ Nm-3. The PCDD/F concentration during 2014 and 2015, at Downshan, ranged between 0.0055-0.11 pg and 0.0045-0.31 pg WHO2005-TEQ Nm-3. Both the 2014 and 2015, the WHO2005-TEQ ratios of PCDDs to PCDFs are all less than 1, indicating that PCDF is the dominate toxicity.
　　　The dry deposition flux of monthly, total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ during 2014 and 2015 at Yilan, ranged between 5.70-60.1 pg and 4.3-52.2 pg WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1. The dry deposition flux of monthly, total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ during 2014 and 2015 at Downshan, ranged between 4.8-59.7 pg and 2.1-49.1 pg WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1. The wet deposition flux of monthly, total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ during 2014 and 2015 at Yilan, ranged between 6.2-50.4 pg and 6.5-45.4 pg WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1. The wet deposition flux of monthly, total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ during 2014 and 2015 at Downshan, ranged between 2.5-74.2 pg and 3.5-112.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1. During the 2014 and 2015 at Yilan, the wet deposition flux of annual, total concentration of PCDD/Fs- WHO2005-TEQ were 563.7 and 498.6 pg WHO2005-TEQ m-2 year-1 and both the 2014 and 2015 at Downshan were 578.2 and 560.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ m-2 year-1.
　　　The total deposition flux (dry + wet) of monthly, total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ during 2014 and 2015 at Yilan, ranged between 19.8-95.4 pg and 17.7-71.4 pg WHO2005-TEQ m-2 month-1 and the total deposition flux of monthly, total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ during 2014 and 2015 at Downshan, ranged between 11.3-133.7 pg and 8.84-120.5 pg WHO2005-TEQ m-2, respectively.
It is suggested that more relevant research should be carried out to make the establishment of the measured data such as the dry sedimentation rate and the wet scavenging of the dioxin / furan, and the results of the previous research combine with this study which can provided useful information for related management and decision-making for the future policy as a reference.
