Abstract:The recent air pollution trend, as well as the factors that contribute to the air quality, were reviewed in the Klang Valley since it has undergone rapid development over the years. The overall quality of air in the Klang Valley was moderate for 66% of the days throughout the year of 2009 while only 5% of the days were classified at the unhealthy level. Shah Alam and Kuala Lumpur were among the cities that recorded the highest number of unhealthy days from 2001-2009. Furthermore, places around the Klang Valley suffered from quite severe acidified rain, which indicates that heavy air pollution is still occurringin areas around the Lang Valley. Factors like urbanization, industry, motor vehicles and forest fires remain the main contributors to the deterioration of air quality in the Klang Valley. Hence, a more sustainable policy has to be introduced by the government in order to tackle the air pollution issue.

“…Chemically, the major anion in acid rain is SO 4 2-, but recently the concentration of NO 3 -has increased, which shows that the contribution of NO x is increasing. Acid rain leads to acidification of surface waters and soils, which can cause ecosystem dysfunction, including loss of fish populations and forest dieback (9,14). In 2005, ~38% of Chinese cities and counties had annual average pH values <5.6.…”

“…It is important therefore to identify the composition of dust fall in order to avoid other effects, for instance, acid rain, which often occurs in both industrial and urban areas. Acidic rainwater itself predominantly affects the environment (Brimblecombe, 2001;Arsene et al, 2007) through causing damage to buildings, producing harmful chemicals and corroding piping, which may subsequently also affect drinking water supplies (Balasubramanian et al, 1999;Rodhe et al, 2002;Hu et al, 2003;Das et al, 2005;Nagase and Silva, 2007).…”

This study aimed to determine the amount and composition of dust fall in semi-urban areas in Selangor, Malaysia from mid-July to mid-October 2010. The dust fall samples (a combination of dry and wet deposition) through rainwater were collected using polyethylene bottles on a monthly basis so as to determine the concentration of total solids, soluble and insoluble solids from eight monitoring stations. Zn was recorded as the dominant heavy metal in rainwater followed by Fe, Al, Pb, Cd and Cr. This study suggests that sea salts, earth crust and anthropogenic activities such as motor vehicles were the main sources of dust fall in the study areas.
