A study on the concentration and dispersion of PM10 in UTHM by using simple modelling and meteorological factors

Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or cause damage to the natural environment or built environment, into the atmosphere. Air pollution can also be known as degradation of a...
