    Anthropogenic and Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds and Ozone Formation Potential in Ambient Air of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
    (IOP Publishing, 2019) H H A Hamid; M H M Hazman; M S M Nadzir; R Uning; M T Latif; N Kannan
    The measurement of anthropogenic and biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in urban air is important because of their toxic effects and because they can produce secondary air pollutants (e.g. ozone, particulate matter). Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX), representing anthropogenic VOCs (AVOCs), and isoprene, a biogenic VOC (BVOC), were monitored at an urban site in Kuala Lumpur (KL). Active sampling was conducted using sorbent tubes packed with Tenax®TA/1 TD for 5 days (daytime). Analysis of VOCs was performed using Thermal Desorption-Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (TD-GCMS).

    (IOP Publishing, 2017) A Sulaiman; A A Ab Rahman; K N Abdul Maulud; M T Latif; F Ahmad; M A Abdul Wahid; M A Ibrahim; N D Abdul Halim
    Today, ozone has become one of the main air pollutants in Malaysia. The high ozone precursor concentrations have been encouraging the ozone production. The development of the Klang Valley, Malaysia has many types of physical activities such as urban commercial, industrial area, settlement area and others, which has increased the risk of atmospheric pollution. The purpose of this paper is to determine the spatial distribution between types of land use and ozone concentration that are occurred in the year 2014. The study areas for this paper include Shah Alam, Kajang, Petaling Jaya and Port Klang.Distribution of ozone concentration will be showed via spatial analysis tools in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) approached and the types of land use will be extracted using Remote Sensing technique.
