Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop an emission inventory for major air pollutants from industrial activities in Malacca History City Council (MBMB). Rapid growth of the demand in industrial sector had contributed to a vast amount of emissions of air pollutants to the environment which led to air pollution. An emission inventory is developed to account the amount of emissions being discharged to the atmosphere in a year by collecting all the data required and referring to related sources. The data will be based on the emission factor of pollutants taken from the CORINAIR 2013 with the activity rate produced from point sources. The type of gas emissions that are taken into consideration are CO2, NOx, NMVOC, CO, SO2 and PM10. The areas of study for this project are Bukit Rambai Industrial Park, Cheng Industrial Park, Krubong Industrial Park and Tangga Batu Industrial Park. The industrial activities in those areas are divided into 7 major sectors which are wood, paper, textile, concrete, chemical, food and drink, and steel and hard work. Overall, the industrial activities in MBMB gives out total emission rates of 1507 ton/year for NOx, 80 ton/year for SO₂, 85 ton/year for NMCOV, 435 ton/year for CO, 70 ton/year for PM₁₀, and 6808 ton/year for CO₂ emissions. The sector that contribute most of the gas emissions is the food and drinks sector, followed respectively by the chemical sector, steel and hardwork sector, wood sector, paper sector, textile sector, and the least contributor is the concrete sector. The results also shows that the different rates of emission were affected by the activity rate from the industry. The higher the amount of fuel consumption from the activities in the factory, the higher the rate of emissions of pollutants.
