The final batch of results was released on 3 January this year. Some of these results concern the amounts of dioxins, PCBs, and PAHs (as benzo[a]pyrene) in air samples near and far from the No. 2 Bridge. Results show that the amounts of the three pollutants are between 0.053 and 0.069 pg I-TEQ/m 3 , 0.286 and 0.949 ng/m 3 , and less than 0.075 and 0.151 ng/m 3 respectively. The numbers are within the range observed in Hong Kong in previous years. They are also below the reference levels stipulated by various regions around the globe and the World Health Organization (WHO). Other results concern tear gas residues including 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (commonly known a s CS ), alpha - chlor oace tophenone, c aps aicin and dihydrocapsaicin, hydrogen cyanide, and nickel. Air, swab, and water samples were collected in the University Sports Centre, near the main entrance, and in New Asia College. Results show that the amounts of the residues in air and swab samples are below the reporting limit and were not detected. As for the water samples, the amounts of pollutants other than nickel are also below the reporting limit, whereas the amounts of nickel are between less than 1 μ g/L and 2 μ g/L, which are below WHO’s reference level. In conclusion, the four batches of test results indicate that the amounts of dioxins, PCBs, and PAHs in soil, water, and air samples are normal. Similarly, the amounts of test gas residues in air, swab, and water samples are below limits. All data and reports have been uploaded to the University website for reference. 緬懷周瑤慧女士 In Memory of Ms. Janet Chow 拓展及籌募處處長周瑤慧女士於2020年1月3日去世，大 學痛失良才，深表哀悼。 周女士在香港中文大學先後取得理學士及工商管理碩士 學位。2001年回母校工作，加入醫學院為教習醫院院務 室主任。2010年出任拓展及籌募處處長，為大學的策略 發展募集捐贈，管理大學籌款事宜。 2015年4月《中大通訊》的一篇專訪中，周女士談到籌募 工作帶來的感悟：「在這崗位經歷很多捐贈個案。我覺得 每一宗都是緣分：有人願意捐贈，同時大學也有項目需要 支持，兩者放在一起，其實有點天意。」 中大校長段崇智教授對失去這位「極寶貴、忠誠、盡責的 大學成員」深感悲痛：「熟悉瑤慧的人都知道她專業、勤 懇、熱情且心繫他人……即使在她最黑暗的日子，她仍一 如既往盡心盡力服務大學，令我們無比感動。我們永遠 懷念她。」 周女士身後遺下丈夫與兩位女兒。追思會將於校園舉行， 詳情有待公布。 周瑤慧女士，願你安息。 The University mourns the loss of a dear colleague and a special friend of many, Ms. Janet Chow, Director of Institutional Advancement, who passed away on 3 January 2020. Ms. Chow obtained both her Bachelor of Science and Master of Business Administration degrees from CUHK. In 2001, she began working for her alma mater as Director of Clinical Sciences Administration at the Faculty of Medicine. In 2010, she was appointed Director of Institutional Advancement and had since been soliciting donations for the strategic development of the University and overseeing the University’s fundraising matters. In an interview with the CUHK Newsletter published in April 2015, Janet spoke fondly of what she had learned from her job: ‘I have handled many donation cases during the past years. I believe destiny is at work in each case: when the University needs funding for a project, there is always someone willing to support it financially. It feels like destiny that the right support would come.’ CUHK Vice-Chancellor Prof. Rocky S. Tuan expressed his deep sorrow for losing ‘a highly valued, loyal, and dedicated member of the University’. ‘Those of you who were close to Janet know of her professionalism, conscientiousness, passion, and caring for others…. Her dedication and desire to be of service to the University, even during her darkest days, touched us all. We will miss her sorely.’ Ms. Chow is survived by her husband and two daughters. A memorial service will be held later on campus, with details to be announced in due course. May you rest in peace, Janet. 掃描閱讀結果 Scan to read the result
