Abstract

For many years, Southeast Asia region encountered several ongoing air pollution episodes. These episodes had indirectly significant impact on the air quality of neighboring countries. Hence, this study aims to assess the characteristics and trend of air pollution in Malaysia particularly at Langkawi Island. Air pollution hourly monitoring records from 2003 to 2017 were used in analyzing the statistical data analysis. Eight parameters were selected in this study which known as PM10, CO, SO2, NO2, O3, relative humidity (RH), temperature (T) and wind speed (WS). The results showed that the hourly trends of PM10, CO, SO2, NO2 and O3 in Langkawi Island were below the MAAQG standard. The results also indicated that dispersion of PM10 in Malaysia were significantly affected by temperature, wind speed and relative humidity.
