In the process of pursuing the air pollution fee is a challenge due to the identification of fraud duration. After analyzing and comparing more than 5 million data in detail, we succeed in getting 659.6 million fines for 5 years limitation of prosecution and break the record of payment in air pollution fee. The present work mentioned that the data of the CEMS analyzer during the audit process are lower in comparison with the data transported to the Taoyuan Environment Protection Bureau.
