Treatment of municipal solid waste odour using electron beam irradiation technique / Mohd. Nahar Othman

Environmental Quality, Clean Air Regulation was enforced since 1st October 1978 in Malaysia. However, it does not contain any standard parameters for odour control and discharge to the environment. In order to respond to various odour complaints and handle odour problems in Malaysia, a regulation fo...
