Seasonal and spatial PM₁₀ concentration in selected regions in Klang Valley, Malaysia / Siti Norhayati Mohamad Tarmizi

Meteorological parameters are one of the factors that will affect the concentration and distribution of particulate matter but the strength of the relationship is different depends on the certain parameters such as geographical location; land use, rapid growth of industrialization and transportation...
