| Summary: | Odour pollution from livestock farms can adversely affect quality of life and human environment. There is a dearth
of study on this type of odour pollution in Malaysia despite its relatively widespread media coverage. The impact of
such pollution not only created inconveniences but also exposed the surrounding population to certain diseases. This
study highlighted some of the salient issues and challenges related to livestock-originated odour pollution
management in Malaysia. Enhanced monitoring of the odour pollution was suggested in order to ensure control of
concentration and intensity of the odour from the livestocks to maintain conducive living environment for the
community. |
