To
investigate
relationship
between air
quality and
human health

The data will be

obtain from the
air pollution index
which is from
department of
environment

This research are

discussed about the
air pollution at urban
and relationship with
the Health effect. In
this study 5 major
pollutant are listed by
DOE and will be
monitor at every
station. Other than
that this research are
explore about how the
urban development
affecting the
environmental health.

The air pollution at

Selangor is really
bad as they have
a lot of industrial
and the car
emission. So the
government
should changed to
the new
technology of the
car and fined
toward the
industrial who are
emitted the
hazardous
components

(2014).

Increase of
urban
populations,
numbers of
cars, vehicle
miles
traveled
caused a lot
of emission
particulate
matter and
Nox which
effect to
environment

The latest data

about the air
pollution are
obtained from the
DOE and doing
the simulation
analysis which is
conducted by
using traffic
software based
on Operational
Street Pollution
Model (OSPM)

This study involve the

field measurement of
roadside vehicle
emission, followed by
analysis of the data. A
few high traffic
location were
identified and
conducted. Then the
OSPM has developed
by DOE in order to
study the traffic
pollution and study the
best strategies to
overcome the air
pollution

The emission of
the cars is very
high at those
place which might
be giving for the
short and long
term effect toward
the human. So the
people should
aware of this
situation and
encourage them
using the public
transport

A few method
used to detect
the air pollution
like PM using
light scattering
method, SO2
using
conductometric
method and for
CO using
nondispersive
infrared analyzer
method

Understanding the
trends a few air
pollution component
from 1970 until 2012.
From the trend, most
of the air pollution are
from the industrial
pollution. Those trend
also will be compare
with the ambient air
pollution monitoring
system in order to
keep the air pollution
at the standard
values.

The air pollution at

japan can be
reduced for every
years as their
country contained
high technology of
the equipment in
order to reduce
the air pollution.
So japan should
apply more
regulation in order
to keep the air
pollution at japan
always at the
standard level of
air pollution.

Effect of air
pollution
toward
environment
like climate
change and
acid rain also
increase rate
of disease in
Malaysia

The data will be

obtained from the
Malaysian air
pollution index
and it will need to
compare with the
Malaysian Air
Quality
Guidelines
( Ambient
Standards)

The air pollution was

due to the vehicle
emission and the
industry emission .The
air pollution also was
caused by the wind
speed and
atmospheric stability.
At Kuala Lumpur ,
found that the smoke
hazard was
associated with high
level of the particulate
matter but relatively
low level of other
gaseous pollutant.

Many strategies
have been
introduced like
recycling.
Changes in
engineering
control equipment
and air cleaning
system have been
applied to improve
the air quality
system.

Causes and
effect of air
pollution at
Mecca
related with
particulate
matter

The air quality

data were
collected at four
monitoring
system in Macca
like Masfalah,
Rabwaa in Mina,
near medical
centre in Mina
and near Holy
mosque ( AlHaram).
Statistical data
was carried out in
software R
programming

The NO,NO2,and CO
are combustion that
emitted by road traffic.
These pollutant show
the highest values in
the morning and
lowest during
afternoon .For the O3
it has highest value
during afternoon and
lowest during morning
and midnight. Crude
oil and coal burning
also contribute to the
air pollution

The air monitoring

system at Macca
should be
increase so that
the air quality can
be estimate at
precise. Other
than that, tighten
the regulation
should be
increase
awareness of
people toward the
air pollution
