Fine Particulates Matter (PM2.5) from Coal-fired Power Plant in Manjung and its Health Impacts

Fine particulates matter (PM2.5) emitted from coal-fired power plant can affect human behaviour. Two times 8 hours airborne particulates personal outdoor sampling through 7-hole and cyclone samplers has been conducted nearby Manjung Power Plant and Lumut Power Plant. Two samplers used are the 7-hole and cyclone. This research found that 58.25 per cent (%) from total inhalable dust exceeded the outdoor PM10 DOE 24 hours Malaysia Standard. The study also has found that the percentage ratio of respirable towards inhalable dust is at 51.7%. Finally, literature reviews linking coal fine particulates matter to the health impact are done to comprehend this study.
