    Air pollution and its health impacts in Malaysia: a review
    (Springer, 2020) Raja Sher Afgun Usmani; Anum Saeed; kibu Mahmoud Abdullahi Thulasyammal Ramiah Pillai; Noor Zaman Jhanjhi; Ibrahim Abaker Targio Hashem
    Air pollution is strongly tied to climate change. Industrialization and fossil fuel combustion are the main contributors leading to climate change, also being significant sources of air pollution. Malaysia is a developing country with a focus on industrialization. The preference of using private cars is a common practice in Malaysia, resulting in the after-effects of haze and transboundary air pollution. Hence, air pollution has become a severe issue in Malaysia in recent times. Exposure to air pollutants such as ozone and airborne particles is associated with increases in hospital admissions and mortality. For the past few years, the focus of the research is moving towards air quality and the impacts of air pollution on health in Malaysia. In this study, we establish the definition of air pollution, the motivation to study it, and its impacts and sources of air pollution and climate change.

    (Technoscience Publications, 2015) Anuar Ithnin; Muhammad Shakirin; Nurhudayanti Mohd Yusuf; Shamrul Aizam Abd. Rahman; Azhar Abdul Halim
    The former landfill site produces various combinations of gases that can cause health problems. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of air quality on the residents’ respiratory health that occupy buildings at the former landfill site at Taman Sri Manja, Petaling Jaya, Selangor compared with the control which in PPR Air Panas located at Setapak, Kuala Lumpur.
