    The unprecedented outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted the whole world in every aspect including health, social life, economic activity, education, and the environment. The pandemic has led to an improvement in air quality all around the world, including in Malaysia. Lockdowns have resulted in industry shutting down and road travel decreasing which can reduce the emission of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) and air pollution. This research assesses the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on emissions using the Air Pollution Index (API), aerosols, and GHG which is Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) in Malaysia.

    The effect of temperature on the development of immature stages of Aedes spp. against breeding containers
    (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2020) Mohd. Fadzil Awang; Nazri Che Dom
    Temperature is the main environmental factor affecting the growth of the mosquito population. It is important to study the effect of temperature on the life parameters of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti in the local environment. This will subsequently provide an in-depth understanding on the biology of Aedes mosquitoes which will eventually affect the transmission of dengue viruses directly to human. This study examined the effect of constant temperatures on the developmental period of both local Aedes species strains using environmental chambers. Artificial and natural containers were used to examine the association of the types of containers to the development of both Aedes species. It was found that the increase in temperature may reduce the developmental period of the mosquito. In terms of the types of breeding containers, shortest development was recorded in the coconut shells, followed by tires, glass jars and plastic cups for both Aedes species. These findings provided valuable baseline information on the potential effects of climate change on the bionomics of Aedes mosquitoes and its density towards an improve vector control.
