挑戰空汙：初探社區行動科學的在地實踐
Challenging Air Pollution: An Explorative Study of Community Action Science and Localized Practices
摘要
近年來臺灣中南部空氣品質日益惡化，一些公民團體不斷要求政府即時揭露空氣品質數據，一些社區更是積極行動，或透過升起校園空汙旗，或透過組成社區空汙自救會，要求政府正視空氣品質改善問題。在此脈絡下，本文檢視中南部社區監測空汙行動，探討關心空汙的民間團體，如何生產地方空汙資訊與證據，進行空汙知識的民間傳播，挑戰政府的空氣品質資訊？透過分析中南部的社區空汙監測行動，本文討論這些空汙行動如何生產、詮釋、運用空汙資料，挑戰政府現行空汙管制政策，並進一步討論公民空汙監測在臺灣社會脈絡下的可能契機與限制。最後，從案例中反思社會基礎設施的需求以促進科技民主與環境正義的落實。

In recent years, the air pollution issues have become one of the top concerns for the Taiwanese society. Unsatisfied with the deteriorating air qualities, the local citizen groups have asked the government to disclose the real-time air monitoring data. Some communities in the central and southern Taiwan have launched community action initiative, raising air quality flags in elementary schools, partnering with the experts to develop low-cost air monitoring devices. This paper explores how grass-root groups have participated in knowledge generation by collecting air pollution evidences, integrating their observations and experiences into the scientific practices of air monitoring. The nascent air pollution surveillance efforts explicate how the community groups have produced, interpreted, and applied air monitoring data to challenge the government's regulatory policies. Additionally, the paper discusses the potentials and limitations of the current community air monitoring programs in Taiwan and the required social infrastructure affording technoscience democracy and environmental justice.
