QUALITY

There are no ambient air quality standards in Malaysia. The Malaysian government, however, established ambient air quality guidelines in 1988. Pollutants addressed in the guidelines include ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, total suspended particles, particulate matter under 10 microns, lead and dust fall. The averaging time, which varies from 1 to 24 hours for the different air pollutants in the RMAQG, represents the period of time over which measurements is monitored and reported for the assessment of human health impacts of specific air pollutants.
