Description
Summary:Particulate matter has significant effect to human health when the concentration level of this substance exceeds Malaysia Ambient Air Quality Guidelines. This research focused on particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 11m, namely PMlO. Statistical modellings are required to predict future PMlO concentrations. The aims of this study are to develop and predict future PMlO concentration for next day (D+ 1), next two-days (D+2) and next three days (D+3) in seven selected monitoring stations in Malaysia which are represented by fourth different types of land uses i.e. industrial (three sites), urban (three sites), a sub-urban site and a reference site. This study used daily average monitoring record from 2001 to 2010.
