  • SPATIOTEMPORAL OF NITROGEN DIOXIDE (NO2) CONCENTRATION IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT OF KLANG VALLEY, MALAYSIA
    Siti Haslina Mohd Shafie, Muhammad Wafiy Adli Ramli, Anisah Lee Abdullah
    Planning Malaysia, 2024
    The high concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) directly results in Klang Valley’s air quality deterioration, causing a public health risk. This study was conducted to analyse the daily-averaged and annual concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) on a spatial-temporal scale at five continuous monitoring stations under the Department of Environment (DOE) in Klang Valley, namely, Klang, Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya, Kajang, and Cheras from 2000 to 2009 using Man-Kendall statistical analysis and interpolation technique in Geographic Information System (GIS). The result clearly showed that the Petaling Jaya station was identified as the most polluted compared to other stations, with an average concentration of more than 0.050 ppm every year and reaching the maximum concentration of 0.069 ppm where the mean was 0.030 in 2001. Based on the p-value derived from the Mann-Kendall statistical analysis, the Klang, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, and Cheras stations recorded a significant trend with p-values < 0.05 at 0.0001 and 0.020, respectively. The annual concentration of NO2 in all the stations was in the range of 0.015 to 0.04 ppm from 2004 to 2009, compared to 0.005 to 0.01 ppm from 2000 to 2003. The highest annual-averaged NO2 concentration was reported at the Petaling Jaya station between 0.035 and 0.004 ppm for all years except 2007 and 2009 when concentrations were in the 0.03 to 0.035 ppm. Notably, the Petaling Jaya station had the highest annual NO2 concentration, which ranged from 0.025 to 0.04 ppm due to emissions from motor vehicles. The major pressure on road infrastructure was recognised, mainly a lack of space to accommodate the effect of the maximum density of motor vehicles and traffic, resulting in traffic congestion in the city centre.
  • ESTIMATION OF NITROGEN OXIDE (NOX) EMISSIONS FROM MOTOR VEHICLES BASED ON FUEL CONSUMPTION IN KUALA LUMPUR METROPOLITAN CITY, MALAYSIA
    Siti Haslina Mohd Shafie, Muhammad Wafiy Adli Ramli, Anisah Lee Abdullah, Mohd Azmeer Abu Bakar
    Planning Malaysia, 2024
    One of the major sources of urban air pollution in Kuala Lumpur is attributed to more than 17 million units of motor vehicles that have an impact on human health. This study focused on nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from four classes of motor vehicles such as private cars, motorcycles, and goods vehicle from 2010 to 2014 using fuel consumption analysis. The study revealed that private cars were responsible for the majority of NOx emissions, with 3,854 kg in 2010 increasing to 5,726 kg in 2014. During the same period, motorcycles emitted 1,200 kg in 2010 and 1,750 kg in 2014, while goods vehicles emitted 199 kg in 2010 and 219 kg in 2014.The results of this study are important to policymakers and stakeholders. In particular, for the planning of various strategies to reduce and control the impact of air pollution from motor vehicles, especially on human health, in Kuala Lumpur.
  • Universities and Sustainable Development: Options to Help ‘Walk the Talk’
    Khadijah Supaat, Sarah Aziz, Siti Zuhaili Hasan, Noor Ezlin Ahmad Basri, Siti Haslina Mohd Shafie
    Journal of Ecohumanism, 2024
    The United Nations’ agenda on sustainable development, since 1972 via the Stockholm Declaration 1972, the 1992 Rio Agenda 21, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, has consistently earmarked academia as an agent of change. Academia, i.e., institutions of higher education are seen as major contributors to help governments contribute to national aspirations for sustainable development, which in turn contributes to global aspirations. Since the adoption of the SDG 2030, universities have begun to incorporate SDGs into their institutional systems and processes. This paper will briefly review related literature pertaining to the role of universities in mainstreaming sustainable development, to help determine the shift needed for universities in Malaysia to embed sustainable development into its governance systems and processes. A list of what is expected of universities, and how such expectations can be accommodated will facilitate determination of key areas to drive change. It will also explore the role of universities as a ‘living lab; medium for influence; connector with civil society; and contributors to the knowledge, and know-how related to sustainable development. Options for consideration related to embedding the sustainable development agenda within the governance framework will be highlighted in the paper.
  • Influence of urban air pollution on the population in the Klang Valley, Malaysia: a spatial approach
    Siti Haslina Mohd Shafie, Mastura Mahmud, Suzani Mohamad, Nor Lita Fadilah Rameli, Ramdzani Abdullah, Ahmad Fariz Mohamed
    Ecological Processes, 2022
    Background Urban air pollution resulting from economic growth as well as urbanization impacts the health of inhabitants. This study aims to examine the spatial distribution of particulate matter (PM10) and the risk of exposure for the population in the Klang Valley, an urban conglomeration centred in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Methods The inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation technique in the ArcGIS platform was used to map the air quality from five air monitoring stations. Spatial statistics of the Global Moran’s I Spatial Autocorrelation and Optimized Hot Spot Analysis were used to estimate the spatial clustering of PM10. The population-weighted exposure level (PWEL) technique was used to calculate the population density susceptible to PM10 and the AirQ+ model was applied to estimate the proportion of the adult population at risk of chronic bronchitis due to long-term exposure to PM10 concentrations in the Klang Valley. Results The highest annual mean PM10 concentrations at the Klang station ranged between 80 and 100 μg/m3 from 2000 to 2009 and exceeded the New Malaysia Ambient Air Quality Standard (NMAAQS) and the World Health Organization Air Quality Guidelines (WHOAQG) levels of 40 and 20 μg/m3, respectively. The Moran's I results indicated that the statistically significant clusters of high PM10 in Klang present a health risk to the local community. The PWEL results showed that levels of PM10 in Petaling Jaya exceeded the WHOAQG limits, potentially posing a health risk to the high-density population. The AirQ+ model found Klang to be a significantly high-risk area for chronic bronchitis among the adult population with 804,240 people (with a relative risk of 1.85) in 2009. Conclusion These high-risk values are due to rapid urbanization and high motor vehicle usage in the Klang Valley and therefore the impact of PM10 on the population needs to be reduced. This situation should be taken seriously by the Department of Environment and Kuala Lumpur City Hall in addressing air pollution issues through stricter rules on emissions and implementing low-carbon policies to improve the well-being of residents.
  • Urban air pollutant from motor vehicle emissions in kuala lumpur, malaysia
    Siti Haslina Mohd Shafie, Mastura Mahmud
    Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2020
    The increasing amount of motor vehicles that emit pollutants are contributing significantly to urban air pollution, be it in industrial or developing countries. This study investigates the emission of particulate matter (PM10) from exhaust and non-exhaust sources and gaseous pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) from several different classes of motor vehicles in the tropical city of Kuala Lumpur. Air pollutants from fuel consumption were obtained from emission factors, while non-exhaust particulate matter was estimated from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Compilation of Air Pollutant Emissions Factors (AP-42). The total PM10 emissions from all classes of motor vehicles estimated from the tail-pipe exhaust was 1,029,883 kg, while non-exhaust sources were 1,573,539 kg. Emissions of PM10 from newly registered private cars was the most dominant at 214,427 kg, followed by emissions from motorcycles at 118,582 kg in 2014. Private cars also contributed 14,605 kg of CO and 5,726 kg of NOx in 2014, compared with 9,830 kg of CO and 3,854 kg of NOx in 2010. Comparison with other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries shows that the total emissions for PM10 and NOx were lower in Malaysia than in most countries, but the CO emissions here were higher than in Asian countries such as Japan and Korea, as well as in other European countries. Various strategies and policies should be implemented by the local authorities and government agencies to reduce emissions from the transportation sector in urban areas to improve the quality of the urban environment, human health, and the urban community.
  • Public perception on traffic pollution in federal territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
    Siti Haslina Mohd Shafie, Mastura Mahmud
    Planning Malaysia, 2017
    Increasing pollutant emission from vehicles and traffic jams is a serious environmental problem in major cities. This study is focused on the level of public perception and awareness on traffic pollution in the capital city of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Analytical tools such as descriptive analysis were applied to investigate the percentage of public perception and awareness towards traffic pollution and identify factors that influence this problem. Results showed that almost all respondents (99%) were very sensitive and were aware on traffic pollution regarding the physical, nonphysical factors and the health effect. Most respondents indicated that emissions from exhaust after switching on was the major contributor of air pollution. In terms of health, respondents perceived that traffic pollution impacted health and a cause of illness. Most respondents agreed with initiatives that provide incentives for public transport usage so that emission from vehicles can be reduced significantly.
