This research focused on PM10 as they may trigger harm to human health as well as environment. Six distributions, namely Weibull, log-normal, gamma, Rayleigh, Gumbel and Frechet were chosen to model the PM10 observations at two industrial areas: Nilai and Shah Alam. One-year period hourly average data for 2006 and 2007 were used in this research. For parameters estimation, method of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) was selected. Four performance indicators that are mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE), coefficient of determination (R 2) and prediction accuracy (PA), were applied to determine the goodness-of-fit criteria of the distributions. The best distribution that fits the PM10 observations was found to be gamma distribution for Nilai whereas for Shah Alam, log-normal distribution is more appropriate. The probabilities of the exceedences concentration were calculated and the return period for the coming year was predicted from the cumulative density function (cdf) obtained from the best-fit distributions. For the 2006 data, Nilai was predicted to exceed 150 μg/m 3 for 2.7 days in 2007 with a return period of one occurrence per 137 days. Shah Alam was predicted to exceed 150 μg/m3 for 5.9 days in 2007 with a return period of one occurrence per 62 days. Both areas do not exceed the MAAQG of 150 μg/m3 based on 2007 data. 2016-03-19T04:42:58Z 2016-03-19T04:42:58Z 2011-12 Article Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, vol.5 (12), 2011, pages 2796-2811 1991-8178 http://ajbasweb.com http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/41153 en AENSI Publications |
