Air Quality Deteriorates Over Malaysia


Air is what we breath in and out all the times. If air we breath in is not pure, we would suffer from any disease easily. What's in the air we breath is very important to know. If it's doesn't belong to the nature, so it's harmful. That's why is news is interested me.

according to the Department of Environment's website, they had tested the air condition in Malaysia. Some locations registered good air quality. However most locations don't, for example, the air quality in Tanjung Malim was found to be unhealthy. 52 hotspots ware found in Sumatra while the least are worse. The Minister of Environment Rachmat Witoelar said that the perpetrators of forest and land fires would be arrested, and sent to prison. However, a new environment law would come up on next September.

I think burning of forest is a huge problem, and it causes major effect to the environment. Not only air pollution but also water pollution. Combined of poisonous air and water, water in the river is affected. On the other hand, losing the forest is losing of wild animal habitat. Compared with air pollution in Thailand, like Malaysia, we have lots of hotspots in Bangkok. Air condition is a little bit harmful.
