Results from the present study in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia indicated a significant spatial variation but generally the total suspended particulate concentrations (mean = 17.2–148 lg/m3) recorded were below the recommended Malaysia guideline for total suspended particulate (mean of 24-h measurement = 260 lg/m3). Some of the elemental composition

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Malaysia. The prevalence of hypertension nearly doubled over a ten-year period (1986 – 1996).

The aim of this paper is to investigate the heat transfer potentiality of a building envelope integrated with ELT (end-of-life tyres) at foundation. A hazardous waste, ELT or massive scraped tyre waste created environmental load to the local environment. Today, when researchers think of the environmental impacts of tyres, they mostly focus on the m
