Item Restricted Health impacts from TRAPs and carbon emissions in the projected electric vehicle growth and energy generation mix scenarios in Malaysia(Elsevier, 2023) Soo Chen Kwan; Sazalina binti Zakaria; Mohd Faiz Ibrahim; Wan Rozita Wan Mahiyuddin; Nurzawani Md Sofwan; Muhammad Ikram A Wahab; Radin Diana R. Ahmad; Ahmad Rosly Abbas; Wei Kian Woon; Mazrura SahaniRoad transport contributes over 70% of air pollution in urban areas and is the second largest contributor to the total carbon dioxide emissions in Malaysia at 21% in 2016. Transport related air pollutants (TRAPs) such as NOx, SO2, CO and particulate matter (PM) pose significant threats to the urban population’s health. Malaysia has targeted to deploy 885,000 EV cars on the road by 2030 in the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB). This study aims to quantify the health co-benefits of electric vehicle adoption from their impacts on air quality in Malaysia. Two EV uptake projections, i.e. LCMB and Revised EV Adoption (REVA) projections, and five electricity generation mix scenarios were modelled up to 2040. We used comparative health risk assessment to estimate the potential changes in mortality and burden of diseases (BoD) from the emissions in each scenario. Intake fractions and exposure-risk functions were used to calculate the burden from respiratory diseasesItem Restricted PM2.5 and ozone in office environments and their potential impact on human health(Elsevier, 2020) Murnira Othman; Mohd Talib Latif; Chong Zin Yee; Lina Khalida Norshariffudin; Azliyana Azhari; Nor Diana Abdul Halim; Azwani Alias; Nurzawani Md Sofwan; Haris Hafizal Abd Hamid; Yutaka MatsumiIt is important to have good indoor air quality, especially in indoor office environments, in order to enhance productivity and maintain good work performance. This study investigated the effects of indoor office activities on particulate matter of less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) concentrations, assessing their potential impact on human health. Measurements of indoor PM2.5 and O3 concentrations were taken every 24 h during the working days in five office environments located in a semi-urban area. As a comparison, the outdoor concentrations were derived from the nearest Continuous Air Quality Monitoring Station.Item Restricted The association between temperature and cause-specific mortality in the Klang Valley, Malaysia(Springer, 2021) Ahmad Norazhar Mohd Yatim; Mohd Talib Latif; Nurzawani Md Sofwan; Fatimah Ahamad; Md Firoz Khan; Wan Rozita Wan Mahiyuddin; Mazrura SahaniThis study aims to examine the relationship between daily temperature and mortality in the Klang Valley, Malaysia, over the period 2006–2015.
