由於戴奧辛(PCDDs)和呋喃(PCDFs)存在對健康的潛在危害，台灣近年來開始關注此種化合物的生成及釋出。在此將研究恆春和鹿林兩地戴奧辛和呋喃在大氣中之特性，並利用懸浮微粒、戴奧辛和呋喃之相對濃度進行迴歸分析，求出其氣固相之分佈模式並模擬其乾溼沉降。
恆春於2012年所模擬出之戴奧辛/呋喃濃度，介於0.0039至0.0106 pg WHO2005-TEQ /Nm3間，2013年之模擬數值介於0.0054至0.0138 pg WHO2005-TEQ /Nm3；鹿林於2012年所模擬出之戴奧辛/呋喃濃度，介於0.0016至0.0029 pg WHO2005-TEQ /Nm3，2013年之模擬數值介於0.0016至0.0032 pg WHO2005-TEQ /Nm3。戴奧辛與呋喃濃度之比值在此二年皆小於1 (恆春為0.23，鹿林為0.86)，顯示呋喃為主要存在之毒性物質。
恆春於2012年戴奧辛/呋喃濃度之固體所佔比例介於6.5%至19.2%間，平均值為13.0%；於2013年數值移動至7.1%到22.8%之間，平均值為14.7%。鹿林之戴奧辛/呋喃濃度之固體所佔比例較恆春高，於2012年為19.4%-51.3%，平均值為33.2%；2013年為18.7%-49.4%，平均值31.3%。
戴奧辛/呋喃之月乾沉降通量在2012年時恆春介於22.7-82.2 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧月，而鹿林為4.5-31.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧月；2013年恆春為33.6-104.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧月，鹿林為3.9-27.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧月。在戴奧辛/呋喃之月溼沉降通量方面，2012年時恆春介於0.1-63.2 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧月，而鹿林為0.5-19.7 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧月；2013年恆春為0.8-30.1 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧月，鹿林為0.2-21.5 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧月。2012年及2013年之年戴奧辛/呋喃溼沉降通量在恆春為151及129.1 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧年，鹿林為99.0及95.7 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧年。
恆春於2012年戴奧辛/呋喃濃度之月總沉降(乾沉降與溼沉降總合)通量介於18.9-90.9 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧月，而於2013年數值移動為18.6-96.9 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧月；而年戴奧辛/呋喃總沉降通量為598.5及717.8 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧年。鹿林之戴奧辛/呋喃濃度之月總沉降通量於2012年為10.1-27.9 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧月，於2013年數值為9.7-43.8 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧月；而年戴奧辛/呋喃總沉降通量為225.2及273.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2‧年。
關於乾沉降所佔總沉降量之比率，恆春於2012年介於30.5%-99.8%，2013年介於51.7%-99.1%之間，年平均比率為78.2%及78.9%；在鹿林2012年介於19.2%-97.0%，2013年介於23.6%-98.6%之間，年平均比率為56.5%及69.0%。
戴奧辛/呋喃之乾沉降通量比率的減少，和戴奧辛/呋喃化合物中氯原子個數增加有正相關性。
在兩個模擬年份中，戴奧辛/呋喃之乾沉降通量在夏季具最低比率，可能肇因於降雨強度和降雨頻率的增加。

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) have received much public concern in Taiwan due to their potential health risk. In this study, the characteristics of PCDD/Fs in the ambient air of Hengchun and Lulin were simulated by regression of PM10 versus PCDD/Fs concentration, modelling of gas-particle partition, and simulations of dry and wet deposition.
The simulated PCDD/F concentration during 2012, at Hengchun, ranged between 0.0039 and 0.0106 pg WHO2005-TEQ /Nm3, while those during 2013 ranged between 0.0054 and 0.0138 pg WHO2005-TEQ /Nm3. However, during 2012, at Lulin, the PCDD/F concentration ranged between 0.0016 and 0.0029 pg WHO2005-TEQ /Nm3, while those during 2013 ranged between 0.0016 and 0.0032 pg WHO2005-TEQ /Nm3. WHO2005-TEQ ratios of PCDDs to PCDFs at both site in year 2012 and 2013 are all less than 1 (0.23 at Hengchun and 0.86 at Lulin), indicating that PCDF dominate the total toxicity.
During 2012, at Hengchun, the fraction of particle-bound total-PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 6.5% and 19.2%, and averaged 13.0%. During 2013, at Hengchun, the fraction of particle-bound total-PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 7.1% and 22.8%, and averaged 14.7%. However, during 2012, at Lulin, the fraction of particle-bound total-PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 19.4% and 51.3 %, and averaged 33.2%. During 2013, at Lulin, the fraction of particle-bound total-PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 18.7% and 49.4%, and averaged 31.3%.
During 2012, at Hengchun, the monthly dry deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 22.7 and 82.2 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 .month, while those during 2013 ranged between 33.6 and 104.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 .month. However, during 2012, at Lulin, the monthly dry deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 4.5 and 31.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 .month, while those during 2013 ranged between 3.9 and 27.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 .month. During 2012, at Hengchun, the monthly wet deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 0.1 and 63.2 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2.month, while those during 2013 ranged between 0.8 and 30.1 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2.month. The annual total wet deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs-WHO-TEQ concentration at Hengchun were 151.0 and 129.1 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2.year in 2012 and 2013, respectively. However, during 2012, at Lulin, the monthly wet deposition fluxes of total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 0.5 and 19.7 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2.month, while those during 2013 ranged between 0.2 and 21.5 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2.month. The annual total wet deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs- WHO2005-TEQ at Lulin were 99.0 and 95.7 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2.year in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
During 2012, at Hengchun, the monthly total deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 18.9 and 90.9 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 .month, while those during 2013 ranged between 18.6 and 96.9 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 .month. The annual total deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ at Hengchun were 598.5 and 717.8 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 .year in 2012 and 2013, respectively. However, during 2012, at Lulin, the monthly total deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs-WHO2005-TEQ ranged between 10.1 and 27.9 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 .month, while those during 2013 ranged between 9.7 and 43.8 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 .month. The annual total deposition flux of total PCDD/Fs-WHO-TEQ concentration at Lulin were 225.2 and 273.3 pg WHO2005-TEQ /m2 .year in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
At Hengchun, during 2012, the fraction contribute by dry deposition ranged between 30.5% and 99.8%, while during 2013 ranged between 51.7% and 99.1%. Mean fraction contribute by dry deposition at Hengchun were 78.2% and 78.9% in 2012 and 2013, respectively. However at Lulin, during 2012, the fraction contribute by dry deposition ranged between 19.2% and 97.0%, while during 2013 ranged between 23.6% and 98.6%. Mean fraction contribute by dry deposition at Lulin were 56.5% and 69.0% in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
In the fraction of individual PCDD/Fs dry deposition in total (dry + wet) deposition fluxes, it can be seen that the fraction of individual PCDD/Fs dry deposition in total (dry + wet) deposition fluxes were decreasing as the number of chlorinated atom were increasing .
The lowest fraction of individual PCDD/Fs dry deposition in total (dry + wet) deposition fluxes was found in summer in both year. It may be due to high rainfall intensity occurred in summer and also the day with precipitation were more in summer.
