 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
~INTRODUCTION
• Increasing numbers of illegal waste dumpsters and
plastic recycling plants have contributed to
degraded ambient air in Sungai Petani, Kedah.
• The gas and air emissions from these factories
visibly affected the air shed of Sungai Petani
Residential Area.
• Indirectly, it has contributed to health deterioration
among nearby residents.
• The number of school and preschool reportedly has
banned outdoor activities ever since.
• Unfortunately, even API reported has shown
moderate level.
• Most of residents are still facing and experiencing
uncomfortable odours and dusty air
~PROBLEM STATEMENT
• Resident make a complaint on the issue
of the illegally burning the plastic wastes.
• The resident also exposed to the odour
that smell like burning of PVC or plastic.
• The PM is the sources of the air
pollutants.
• The health problem are affect the
residential.
• In this study, the sources of PM in Sungai
Petani need to be verified, whether it has
been an effect from recycling plant
emission or due to plastic burning.
 OBJECTIVES

OBJECTIVE 1: OBJECTIVE 2: OBJECTIVE 3:

• To temporally • To analyse the • To comparatively
evaluate trends of relationship analyse the indoor
PM10 in indoor between PM10 and outdoor
environment of concentration and contributions of
mixed industrial- environment PM10
residential air-shed elements such as concentrations at
in Sungai temperature, Sungai Petani,
Petani,Kedah. relative humidity Kedah
and wind speed.

 CONCLUSION
• Already achieved all of objective which is to Evaluate The Mass
Concentration Levels Of Indoor And Outdoor Particulate Matter
In Ambient Air Of Residential Area In Sungai Petani, Kedah

• Mostly concentration were exceeded the standard limit according

to USEPA standard.

• Hence, the outdoor concentration was highest compared to the

indoor concentration.

• HM is the higher concentration compared to CSRV due to near

the location of recycling factory
