Due to the increase of the human population and the rapid industrial growth in the past few decades, air quality monitoring is essential to assess the pollutant levels of an area. However, monitoring air quality in a high-density area like Sunway City, Selangor, Malaysia is challenging due to the...

The air pollution index (API) is commonly used for describing the air quality status. Values of API are evaluated by the maximum value of five pollutants: sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone (O₃), and suspended particulate matter (PM₁₀) at a particular hour. Values that exceed...

Excessive exposure schoolchildren to air pollution can lead to long-lasting health problems, allergies and respiratory disease. It is well known that the major factors contributing to increase of air pollution are motor vehicles and industries. Thus, it is important to analyze the spatial temporal...

The fraction of soil-borne particulates in indoor air (fspi), a principal exposure factor in health risk assessment of soil, is used to calculate the inhaled dose of contaminants in air particulates (PM₁₀) from soil. To investigate the fspi, consecutive 24-h PM₁₀ samples (n = 180) of indoor ambient ...

An increased number of rivers categorized as polluted is alarming that their repercussions are so severe that the rivers can no longer be rehabilitated. This pollution might result from rapid urbanization and population growth, uncontrolled development, which produces a high volume of water ...
