“…The highest reading of PM10 were recorded at 319.750µg/m 3 on 17 th December 2015. A previous study demonstrated that the pattern of PM10 was similar as the pattern of API [26]. The high volume of PM10 in Kuching, Sarawak resulted from the vehicles emission and forest burning for agriculture purposes [27][28].…”

“…Moreover, the elevation of PM10 concentration was related to the occurrence of transboundary haze pollution from Indonesia due to Sumatra bush burning for agriculture purposes [5]. The smoke then travel to other countries and affected the air quality in those travelled areas [26]. In addition, the emission of PM10 was also associated with agriculture activities at the area.…”

“…The API trend was influenced by the total reading of the pollutants. The major pollutants that contribute to the increase of API were PM10, CO and O3 [26]. Prompt urbanisation and vehicular emissions were the chief factors contributing to the increase of PM10 concentration in the air [34].…”

Air pollution has been considered a devastating environmental issue that can negatively impact human health and the environment. Kuching as one of the capital cities in Malaysia is also affected by air pollution and unsatisfactory air quality condition. Thus, the main objective is to identify the source of variation on regional impact of air quality pattern in Kuching, Sarawak. A seven-year (2009-2015) database was acquired from the Malaysia Department of Environment (DOE). The data were analysed using several Chemometric Techniques. The findings demonstrated strong positive correlation of Particulate Matter below than 10 microns (PM10) and API (r = 0.994). In addition, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) revealed that Carbon Monoxide (CO), Ozone (O3) and PM10 were the most significant air pollutants in Kuching. Based on the results in the Statistical Process Chart (SPC) analysis, PM10,COand O3 values exceeded the Control Limit (CL) of SPC. This study concluded that the application of air quality model in this study is relevant for mitigating action plan of air quality in Kuching, Sarawak, as it is of paramount importance to continuously monitor and manage the quality of air for the sustainability of the environment and human health.

This study assesses the effect of construction workers exposure towards the air pollution the correlation between meteorological factor with the particulate matter and other gases concentration at a construction site in DesaParkcity. The concentration of PM was collected by using low volume sampler meanwhile CO, CO with the particulate matter concentration. There is a significant association between factor with the concentration orCO, CO 2 , SO 2 and NO 2 at DesaParkcity air pollution; construction worker; meteorological factor.

In Malaysian environment, ground level pollutants that contribute to air quality degradation. The odourless and invisible nature of the pollutant has caused problems for individuals to realize and notice the existence of Ozone pollution in the environment. Thus, this study was conducted with the aim to assess and visualize the occurrence of potential Ozone pollution severity of two chosen locations in Selangor, Malaysia: Shah Alam (urban) and Banting (sub were employed using Ozone exceedances and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The study results have shown an increasing pattern of Ozone pollution occurrence with several modes of distinct diurnal variations at the locations. The study also provides strong insights that Banting might experience a higher potential for Ozone pollution severity compared to
