summary.
The recommendation:
i.
Reviewing ambient air quality standards and air pollution
Indexes.
ii.
Developing roadmaps for fuel quality and vehicle emission
standards for new vehicles
iii. Addressing fuel quality for stationary sources.
iv. Strengthening, developing and implementing strategies to
control emissions from in-use vehicles.
v.
Strengthening environmentally sustainable transport
policies and systems.
vi. Promoting the use of clean alternative and renewable
energy.
vii. Supporting principles of the Aichi Statement.
viii. Promoting Eco-housing

The importance of effective and
sustained approaches to improve
urban air quality in Asian cities.
• AQM based on sound science
• AQM efforts at urban, national, regional and global
levels should be increasingly coordinated.
• Effective policies and programs to address the
underlying causes for urban air pollution.
• A co-benefits strategy combining and integrating
urban air quality management and climate change
mitigation and adaptation measures
• Local and national governments, civil society,
academe and the business sector should join forces
in implementing air pollution prevention and control
measures.

Some activities in South East Asia
related Air Quality Management
Asian countries three focal issues are addressed in this research project.
They are:
(1) monitoring for toxic and organic air pollutants,
(2) appropriate air pollution control technologies, and
(3) modelling tools for integrated air quality management.
The proposed research is conducted jointly by the AIT and five National
Research Institutions (NRI)
from Asian developing countries China, India, Indonesia, Philippines and
Vietnam.

NATIONAL POLICY ON THE
ENVIRONMENT
The Green Strategies are :
Education and Awareness
• Effective management of natural resources and the
environment
• Integrated development planning and implementation
• Prevention and control of pollution and environmental
degradation
• Strengthening administrative and institutional
mechanisms
• Proactive approach to regional and global
environmental issues
• Formulation and implementation of Action Plans

Transportation
Review motor vehicles emission standard to
adopt EURO 2 standard for diesel vehicles
and EURO 3 for petrol vehicles
Improve Fuel Quality –Proposed EURO 2M
specification
• Diesel: Sulphur content to be reduced from
3,000 ppm to 500 ppm
Petrol : Sulphur content to be reduced from
• 1,500 ppm to 500 ppm
Implement effective public transportation
system to achieve reduction in emission

•
•
Reduce Emission From Industrial Sector
Promote Cleaner Production (CP) through the concept of
BAT, waste minimisation
Implementation of 4R concept (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
and Recovery)
Using cleaner or alternative combustion fuel to ensure low
emission such as natural gas, biodiesel and renewable
energy
Develop new regulation to control odour pollution
Incorporate BAT concept in new Clean Air Regulation
National Policy on Biofuel – use of ENVO Diesel (5% palm
oil+ 95% diesel), palm methyl esther
Public Awareness
Enhance public awareness on the importance of improving
air quality through public relation campaigns, brochures,
special curriculum in schools, working with NGOs on air
pollution issues

CLEAN AIR ACTION PLAN FOR
MALAYSIA
• Integration Of Clean Air Strategies
in Land-use Planning
Integrated planning approach in project
development such as EIA requirement to
minimise air pollution
Consideration of traffic planning includes
the need for public transportation
Adopt zero or control burning techniques in
land development such as during land
clearing and earthworks for development
project and agricultural activities
