Abstract
The urban region with high traffic volume and high density developments contributed to the decreasing of air quality. Air pollution is a major environmental risk to health and exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with a series of adverse health effects including respiratory system. Previous scholars found a significant link between respiratory disease and air pollution. However, due to the limited study in the regional context, this study is needed to find the relationship between air quality and human health in the regional context, especially in Malaysia.
