Huan Jui-hsiang, manager at the Hualien headquarters of the Asia Cement Corporation, points out that Taiwan does not have any steady source of lumber, while wood-built homes are at risk of infestation by termites, and wood can be attacked by fungi.
亞泥花蓮管理處經理黃瑞祥指出，台灣木材的來源和維持都不容易，木造房子有白蟻肆虐的困擾，林木則又受到蕈類的侵害。
