    Monsoonal variations in atmospheric surfactants at different coastal areas of the Malaysian Peninsula
    (Elsevier, 2016) Shoffian Amin Jaafar; Mohd Talib Latif; Intan Suraya Razak; Muhammad Zulhilmi Shaharudin; Md Firoz Khan; Nurul Bahiyah Abd Wahid; Suhaimi Suratman
    This study determined the effect of monsoonal changes on the composition of atmospheric surfactants in coastal areas. The composition of anions (SO42 −, NO3−, Cl−, F−) and the major elements (Ca, K, Mg, Na) in aerosols were used to determine the possible sources of surfactants. Surfactant compositions were determined using a colori-metric method as methylene blue active substances (MBAS) and disulphine blue active substances (DBAS). The anion and major element compositions of the aerosol samples were determined by ion chromatography (IC) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), respectively.

    Overview of atmospheric aerosol studies in Malaysia: Known and unknown
    (Elsevier, 2016) Kasturi Devi Kanniah; Dimitris G. Kaskaoutis; Lim Hwee San; Mohd Talib Latif; Nurul Amalin Fatihah Kamarul Zaman; Liew Juneng
    In the present work, we summarize and discuss the results of previous studies that investigated the aerosol properties over Malaysia by means of various instrumentation and techniques, focusing on the use of remote sensing data to examine atmospheric aerosols. Furthermore, we identify gaps in this research field and recommend further studies to bridge these knowledge gaps.
