Pollutant emissions from fossil fuel use in Kuala Lumpur and environmental damage

In the Klang Valley, Malaysia, the pollutants observed include the oxides of nitrogen (NOx), ozone (O3), sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and suspended particulate matter (SPM). The data was collected from December 1984 to May 1989. The information presented here is based on the average h...
