A group consist of four members, firstly Muhammad Izwan bin Othaman (AE070175) which

is the leader in the group, Mohd Farhan bin Ismail (AE070103), Muhammad Afiq bin

Bahruddin (AE070150) and Mohd Norrulakmal bin Mohd Nawi (AE070194). We have to

preparing a survey about “Air pollution in University of Tun Hussien Onn Malaysia

(UTHM)”.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Do you know what air pollution is? Where it come from? The source of air pollution refers to

the various location, activities or factors which are responsible for the realising of pollutants

in atmosphere.

The air pollution has effect to many organism or living things in this world. Many

organizations have done a demonstration to overcome the air pollution problems. Many of

problems of the air pollution are come from people action. From the International Air

statistic, Batu Pahat is the one of the area has contributed the air pollution. This is because

many of industrial and housing areas coming up. In Parit Raja have many big factories for

example Stancodex Sdn. Bhd, Evergreen Fibreboard Berhad, HPI Resource Berhad and

others.

Many of the factories close to UTHM areas. The thing that must be worried is most of the

factory in Parit Raja emits smoke. The smoke that comes from the factory can affect the level

of air quality in Parit Raja. Other than that, the factories also make an unpleasant smell. It

will disturbed resident daily live in UTHM. Many of students in UTHM have sickness that

caused by the pollution. The causes also will affect student learning. Why must there be a

factory by the side of a university which will affect the health and well-being of the student?

Why there is no action taken by the authority towards the factory? What the effect from the

air pollution? What is the opinion of student about the air pollution? This problem should pay

in more attention.

To have answers for these questions our group that consists of 4 students from UMB 1042,

under the supervision of Miss Noryani Neni Bte Ahmab Jamain will carry out a survey to

find out the answers for all the unanswered questions regarding the opinions of the students

in UTHM on the air pollution in the UTHM area.

1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS

For the 20 years ago, since the development of UTHM, there was air pollution around

UTHM campus. The pollution actually causes because of the Evergreen factory near the

UTHM area. The factory has produces lumber to export to other country. The factory has

been here before the existence of UTHM, the wasps from the factory increasingly year to

year. This makes the UTHM administration unhappy and unsatisfied. They referred to the

Ministry Of Environment, but no reaction from there. Other factor is from the wasps from

the student, staff vehicle and buses which carried student from the hostel to the campus.

Due to the student hostel located near the place, there is many affect for the student daily

life.

1.2.1 The student’s health is affected. The student has infected by the sickness like eye

soreness, asthma and skin infection. The eye soreness is actually caused from the air

pollution. There are feeling vomited because the factory has spread the bad smell. The

smell is too strong and bad making the student’s to feel uneasy and uncomfortable of the

surrounding environment.

1.2.2 The student around the factory place was argue with the factory develop. They

want this factory to close. Their life is likely live in a small room. This is because they

had to close the window and door to reduce the smell and wasps from the factory and also

from the student’s vehicle. The student has reported this to the superior. The student

representative give their memorandum to the vice counsellor.

1.2.3 The student has to limit their outdoor activities. This happened because they had to

face the bad environment. In addition the field or court is already near the factory. There

are many cases that the student suddenly fainted and some student vomited. There

assume that the problem is base on the factory. Many student has fix their face with mask

and also

1.2.4 Due to limited of free land own by UTHM, the authority are forced to build

another hostel and be predicted near the factory because of additional numbers of

residents in UTHM.
