  • - Haze has been a recurring issue in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia, primarily caused by particulate matter (PM) that poses serious health risks.
  • - This study analyzed PM concentration data from several Malaysian cities during haze events, revealing that average PM levels often exceeded the recommended air quality guidelines, with considerable fluctuations during specific monsoon periods.
  • - The research identified that haze episodes were associated with air masses from Sumatra and noted various correlations between PM concentrations and other pollutants like CO, SO, and humidity, indicating limited domestic sources of NOx contributing to the haze.

Current development in precision agriculture has underscored the role of machine learning in crop yield prediction. Machine learning algorithms are capable of learning linear and nonlinear patterns in complex agro-meteorological data. However, the application of machine learning methods for predictive analysis is lacking in the oil palm industry.

Wastewater treatment activities in the chemical industry have generated abundant gypsum waste, classified as scheduled waste (SW205) under the Environmental Quality Regulations 2005. The waste needs to be disposed into a secure landfill due to the high heavy metals content which is becoming a threat to the environment. Hence, an alternative disposal method was evaluated by recycling the waste into fired clay brick.
