摘要
The total hourly surface ozone (O-3) exceedance from the 100 ppbv hourly O-3 standard set by the Department of Environment Malaysia (DOE) was analysed, as elevated O-3 concentrations pose health risks to humans and harms vegetation. Air quality data from 2008 to 2010 were obtained from a total of seven stations located around the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Cheras and Shah Alam monitoring stations consistently showed a high frequency of noncompliance to the DOE standards. Hierarchical Agglomerative Cluster Analysis (HACA) was performed on the daily maximum O-3 concentration to analyse the spatial variability. Three distinct clusters were obtained from HACA runs on the daily maximum O-3 and the results reflected O-3 exceedance pattern among the stations. Analysis of the monthly average O-3, nitrogen oxide (NO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations indicated a strong localised influence on the O-3 exceedance patterns. It can be concluded that the O-3 exceedance pattern in the Klang Valley area is strongly influenced by local pollutant emission and dispersion characteristics. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
