新竹瓦斯加重輸配氣管線嗅劑 提醒民眾勿誤判為瓦斯洩漏

Quick Look

新竹瓦斯公司在竹北、新豐、湖口、新埔及關西五個鄉鎮市執行輸配氣管線檢漏時加重嗅劑,提醒民眾可能短暫聞到明顯氣味並產生不適,但強調聞到瓦斯味不一定是嗅劑所致,若持續聞到濃烈氣味應立即通報並避免使用明火或電器開關。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

天然氣本身無色無味無毒但易燃易爆,為防止洩漏時因無氣味而造成危險,依法必須添加嗅劑。新竹瓦斯公司每季會配合輸配氣管線安全巡檢加重嗅劑濃度,以助人員透過氣味判斷是否有洩漏。

配合執行輸配氣管線檢漏,新竹瓦斯(股)公司近日在新竹縣竹北、新豐、湖口、新埔以及關西5個鄉鎮市的輸配氣管路加重嗅劑,完成後短時間內,部分民眾仍有可能聞嗅後產生短暫不適或厭惡感;也提醒不要聞到瓦斯味就逕行判斷是嗅劑所致,若有聞到臭味或發現洩漏仍應立刻電話通報竹瓦派員到場處理。

竹瓦總經理邱世昌說,天然氣無色、無味、無毒、易燃、且易爆,基於安全考量,他們供應的天然氣都依政府法令規定平時都有添加嗅劑,以防止天然氣意外洩漏時因為無所知覺而造成危險,並於每季配合輸配氣管線安全巡檢加重嗅劑,以利巡檢人員藉由氣味加強來確認管線是否有洩漏狀況。

請繼續往下閱讀...

這次使用的嗅劑是第三丁基硫醇(Tertiary Butyl Mercaptan, 100%)。依照法令規定的添加濃度,是每立方公尺6到15毫克,而這次添加的濃度則是每立方公尺15到30毫克。

他說,嗅劑主要是用來警示天然氣洩漏。加重嗅劑作業期間和完成後短時間內,部分區域可能較容易聞到明顯氣味,部分民眾聞嗅後也可能產生短暫不適或厭惡感。

他特別提醒,加重嗅劑作業並不代表聞到瓦斯味就可逕行判斷是嗅劑所致。如於室內持續聞到明顯或濃烈瓦斯味,應避免使用明火及操作任何電器開關,並在安全情況下關閉瓦斯開關、開啟門窗自然通風且離開現場,在安全處所利用免費服務電話0800-351603或03-5510263通知他們,竹瓦會派員處理。

Open Questions

  • 此次加重嗅劑的具體持續時間是多久?
  • 是否有民眾因嗅劑產生不適而就醫的個案?
  • 未來是否會調整嗅劑添加標準或頻率?

Global electronic product manufacturing capacity ranking: China ranks first with 58.8%, followed by Taiwan with 10.2%

According to the Visual Capitalist report citing Ember analysis, China ranks first in global electronic product manufacturing capacity with 58.8%, followed by Taiwan with 10.2% and South Korea with 6.7%. Data show that China's production capacity exceeds the sum of all other countries included in the statistics, with the three East Asian countries (Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan) accounting for 21.7%. The report pointed out that the headquarters of technology companies are separated from the actual production sites. Although the United States is a design center, its manufacturing capacity is limited.

Morgan Stanley is optimistic about gold's mid- to long-term trend and expects it to return to $5,000 per ounce in the second half of 2027

Gower, head of metals and mining strategy at Morgan Stanley, pointed out that despite pressures such as the strength of the U.S. dollar and the rise in long-term U.S. bond yields to 20-year highs, gold has strong support around $4,000 per ounce. Gold prices are expected to regain $5,000 per ounce in the second half of 2027. Central bank and physical demand, ETF holding resilience and concerns about fiscal sustainability are key supporting factors.

Gold prices fell back on Wednesday, falling 6.6% in September and still ended in the red in the third quarter

Gold prices rose on Wednesday (September 30) but then gave up the gains. They fell 6.6% in September and still closed in the red in the third quarter. Lower-than-expected U.S. inflation data lowered expectations for a rate hike by the Federal Reserve, but high energy prices and rising U.S. bond yields put pressure on gold prices. Spot gold fell 0.7% to US$4,152.86 an ounce; U.S. gold futures rose 0.2% to US$4,186.70 an ounce. Silver, platinum and palladium all fell, but gold, silver and platinum are still expected to rise this quarter.
