A research on concentration and distribution of airborne particulate matter in Kuantan city

The development of Kuantan city had caused a great emission of particulate matter concentration to the Kuantan atmospheric. The airborne of particulate matter may causes immediate and long-term impacts on human health as it enters the lung through the respiratory tract. The larger particles more tha...
