This study aims to determine the influence of meteorological parameters(ambient temperature, relative humidity and wind speed) based on a daily average computation of air pollutants PM sub (10) and NO sub (2) at three selected stations in Malaysia, namely Shah Alam and Johor Bahru on the Peninsular Malaysia, and Kuching on the island of Borneo. A three-year(2007-2009) database was statistically analysed using the Pearson Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression methods. The results obtained through these analyses show that at all the three stations, NO sub (2) has a reverse relationship with wind speed, while PM sub (10) has a negative relationship with relative humidity and wind speed, but a positive relationship with ambient temperature. The statistical model of NO sub (2) and PM sub (10) including meteorological parameters highlights that among the three stations, Shah Alam Station which is …
