摘要
Selangor has five stations set in residential, traffic and industrial areas designed to research the data obtained from the Air Pollution Index (API) and detect any significant change in the air quality to avoid any harm upon the human health and environment (DOE, 2012). The research would adhere the API scale provided by the DOE in order to promote a better understanding on the data as it would reflect the effects of air pollution on human health (DOE, 2012). Research methods in this research include the theoretical analysis of Urban Air Quality and acquiring important information from key informants and public to scope the issues and problems using the structured questionnaire.
