| dc.description.abstract | Haze events occurred in Malaysia almost every year since more than two decades. These events were usually accompanied with high PM10 concentrations which can last longer than three days. This study attempt to characterized the years with haze events systematically by fitting the monitoring records into three distributions that were reported to have dealt with extreme events especially those related to air pollutions studies. These distributions plotted were then utilized to established exceedences of Malaysian Air Quality Guidelines and prevalence of high PM10 concentrations. Worst high particulate events were identified in 1997 as compared to 2004 and 2005 in most of the selected study sites. Weather parameters were expected to have some influence on the concentrations of PM10. PrevJous hour concentrations, wind speed and temperature were proven to have great influence on predicted PM10 concentrations. A workable framework was proposed from this research to reduce the incidents of exceedences which requires close cooperation between multiple levels of governance and enforcements. In addition, efforts on capacity building and specific skill training should be given ample attentions. Finally, education, awareness and willingness to change at all walk of life are paramount in ensuring environment provides better air quality. | en_US |
