摘要
随着沙捞越努力在 2030 年实现发达和高收入国家的目标,预计它将面临工业排放和城市化带来的空气污染所带来的环境挑战。因此,进行全面的空气污染物指数(API)趋势分析非常重要。目前,以古晋为重点的 API 趋势分析研究非常有限,古晋因其广阔的工业区和人口稠密的城市中心而闻名。本研究的主要重点是采用等值线图的直观表现形式,对古晋地区 20 年(2000-2019 年)内的 API 趋势进行全面分析。为此,使用 Matlab 软件建立了一个五项傅立叶模型来预测缺失的 API 数据。然后,绘制了完整版的等值线图,以清楚地说明空气质量随时间的波动情况。研究发现,用于预测缺失的空气污染指数数据的五项傅立叶模型与空气污染指数读数具有很强的相关性,大部分 R 值大于 0.91。此外,生成的等高线图显示了预测数据与原始数据集之间的直观一致性。空气污染指数读数升高表明空气质量非常糟糕,这主要是由于邻国无节制的火灾造成的雾霾天气,尤其是在厄尔尼诺现象期间。这项研究的结果有助于通过等值线图更好地了解古晋的空气污染指数趋势。
Twenty Years of Air Pollutant Index Trend Analysis in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia (2000-2019)
Sarawak is expected to face environmental challenges due to air pollution arising from industrial emissions and urbanisation as it strives towards achieving developed and high-income status by 2030. Therefore, it is important to conduct a comprehensive Air Pollutant Index (API) trend analysis. There are currently limited studies on API trend analysis that focus on Kuching, the capital known for its extensive industrial zones and densely populated urban centre. The main focus of this study was to perform a comprehensive analysis of the API trends in the Kuching region over a period of 20 years (2000-2019) using a visual representation in the form of a contour plot. To achieve this purpose, a five-term Fourier model was employed to predict the missing API data using Matlab software. Then, a complete version of a contour plot was developed to clearly illustrate the fluctuations in air quality over time. It was found that a five-term Fourier model used to forecast missing API data provides a strong correlation with the API readings, with most of the R values greater than 0.91. Moreover, the generated contour plot demonstrates a visual congruence between the forecasted data and the original dataset. Elevated API readings, signifying highly detrimental air quality, were primarily identified as a result of haze episodes stemming from uncontrolled fires in neighbouring countries, particularly during El Niño events. The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of API trends in Kuching by means of the contour plot.
