Taiwan's Ministry of Environment has identified 15 tree species with high isoprene emissions, which can lead to ozone formation and affect air quality. The Ministry suggested avoiding planting these trees, but forestry scholars argue that isoprene is a type of terpene and poses no significant danger despite contributing to ozone formation, criticizing the Ministry for misplaced priorities and suggesting a focus on reducing anthropogenic pollutants instead. The Ministry plans to consult experts to review the list for potential adjustments.
