Annual Report 1998-99

硏究項目的實驗室安全措施，檢測輻射監察儀器的使用，並確 保實驗室的風櫃通風。該處又與校園發展處緊密合作，就危 險品倉的規劃、四十多個破舊風櫃的更換，以及科學館實驗 室的升格和翻新工程提供建議。 環 境 保 護 由不同部門的尋家組成的校園環境保護督導小組負責監察校內 環境事務，並制定環保政策和措施。 在小組領導下，物業管理處和其他相關單位採取了一連串的環保 措施： o 審核校內五十幢樓宇的能源使用狀況，找出能減少耗電量的 實際方法。隨後校方為二十幢高耗電量樓宇購買了省電的 照明系統、冰箱和空調機。 o 定期檢測雨水品質及監察去水道是否通暢，以色粉等方法 偵查污染物源頭，又經常測試食水、游泳池池水，以及冷凍 器和冷凝器內水份的純度。 o 加強清理隔油器，以確保不會因意外溢瀉而污染下水道。 o 聘用政府核准的承辦商清理放射性、化學、生物及醫學廢 物，確保合乎環保法例。 o 增加收集垃圾次數，並收緊棄置家居垃圾的規定。 o 種植大量花草樹木，以美化環境並維持校園生態平衡。 此外，為了維護校園的良好環境，本校將繼續密切監察政府三 項工程（擴闊吐露港公路、白石角填海，以及築路通往科學 園）的進展，以免這些工程發出過量噪音，污染空氣和水源， 又或以不恰當的方法挖泥。 e n v i r o n m e n t a l p r o t e c t i o n Environmental matters on campus ar e overseen by an Environmental Protection Monitoring Group, who draws expertise from various units and departments and proposes policies and measures to protect the campus environment. Conservation activities implemented during the year by the Estates Management Office and other relevant units under the auspices of the Monitoring Group include: o An energy audit conducte d on 50 campus buildings to identify practices that can help reduce electricity consumption — energy efficient appliances for lighting, refrigeration, and air-conditioning were subsequently purchased for 20 buildings with hig h consumption rates. o A water testing and monitoring programme to assess periodically the quality of rainwater and the connectivity of its outlets — dye tracking and other procedures were undertaken to detect possible contaminants and their sources; other sources o f water, i.e., drinking water, swimming water, chiller water, and condenser water were also monitored and tested for purity. o More frequent grease trap cleaning and removal to ensure no accidental overflowing and sewage pollution. o The employment of government-approved contractors to dispose of radioactive, chemical, biological/medical wastes in separate streams to comply with environmental legislation. o More frequent junk pick-ups and more stringent house rules for the disposal of household wastes. o The planting/transplanting of a large amoun t of trees, shrubs, flowers, and grass to maintain the natural beauty and the ecological balance of the campus. Meantime, the University continued to monito r closely the progress of three government projects — the widening of a section of the Tolo Highway, the Pak Shek Kok reclamation, and the construction of a southern access to the Science Park via the University's Eastern campus — for incidences of noise exceedance, air/water pollution, and malpractices i n dredging, with a view to preserving a pleasant campus environment and improving campus life. 校園建設與環境保護 Campus Development and Environmental Protectio n 75
