| dc.description.abstract | Particulate matter (PM10) is tiny particles known as dust in the surrounding air.
Particles originate from a variety of mobile and stationary sources such as motor
vehicles, wood burning stoves and fireplaces, dust from construction, landfills, and
agriculture, wildfires and brush/waste burning, industrial sources and the last one is
windblown dust from open lands. Particulate matter (PM10) size is below 10microns
(<10µm). Because the effect of particulate matter (PM10), this study was conduct. This
study focused on the Block B1, Wang Ulu on ground floor, second floor, and fourth
floor that the student residential of Universiti Malaysia Perlis. Purpose of this study here
to measure the particulate matter (PM10) concentration for vertical profile in state of
Perlis because of the present people trend that lives in the high building either for home
or office. From this study, the lowest concentration of particulate matter (PM10) is
0µg/m³ and the highest is 104.17µg/m³ which is in the second floor. According to
National Ambient Air Quality Standards, particulate matter (PM10) concentration that
not exceeds 150µg/m³ (not to be exceeded more than once per year on average over 3
years) a day will be considered safe for human health and not harmful to human life. So,
for this three altitude (ground floor, second floor, and fourth floor), there will be safe to
lives without compromising to our health. | en_US |
