In reality, the combustion process cannot be perfect and automotive engines emit several types of pollutants. In this case study, several high traffic roads in Selangor were selected for the road air-quality measurement and analysis. After all necessary data are obtained; comparisons with simulations results using the Operational Street Pollution Model (OSPM) are shown. The correlation between traffic flow and emission is analyzed on each high traffic roads and air quality in each places are predicted by simulation. The study shows that there were no critical threats of air pollution recorded in the period of January 2012. Air quality trends for the criteria pollutants in this month generally are continuing to show downward trends or stable trends well below the level of the Malaysian Ambient Air Quality Guideline (RMG). However, based on the simulation, PM10 and ground-level O3 are the crucial pollutants in Selangor. The review done has revealed that moving vehicles creates a significant impact in air quality on the specific locations. Comparison with simulated data also showed good agreement thus indicating suitability of the model to be used in Malaysia condition.
