  There are some recommendations to prevent the air pollution issues. Besides that, there also have the laws and policy to having the activities to overcome the air pollution issues which is Environmental Quality Act 1974. We also can create a new law and policy to prevent this problem. The key point to life a healthy life is to identify the sources of air pollution and fulfil the practical ways.

  First recommendation is plant trees around the neighbourhood units and beside the roadside. Plan trees helps to clean the dirty air such as nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide. The government can having the new laws and policy of “ 1 people, 1 tree” which means that everyone above 20 years old need to plan a tree and in the neighbourhood units must having the activities of planting different types of trees. Moreover, the benefit of plan trees also can helps to provide the oxygen and conserve the energy to emissions the air that is not good for us.

  Trees also can reduce the greenhouse effect by the industries and office building. We need to plan more trees around the industries and the smoking area, this can helps to improve the air quality in Malaysia. Next, the air pollution is a serious problem for our health risk such as lung cancer, asthma and heart disease so we need to plan more trees to lower the percentage of the health risk for people. Plan trees also can absorb the exhaust gas and the gas that comes from air conditioning so that can help to decrease the people that who feel uncomfortable and sick.

  Second recommendation is drive less. Cars and motorcycle are responsible for around half of the air pollution in Malaysia. The best way to approach the decline of vehicle-related air pollution is to drive less and using smart driving customs such as having carpooling with the friends or parents to go for the same destination. The important way to prevent air pollution is to take some mistakes in a car or motorcycle. Some people are unwilling to cut down their weekly driving because they feel they will be stuck in the house with did not have places to go. However, there are many different ways to involve the combination of selective modes of transportation with the improvement of driving routine. The government also can set the new law for driving less on the road such as set as a family only can has one car for them.

  Besides that, a driver should increase the speed step to step or use cruise control when traveling on the highway or in the situation of traffic jam. The acceptable ways to drive less in our daily life may include carpooling with friends or neighbour if wanted go to the same destination. Another way is walking to the near destination such as go to find the neighbour in the same neighbourhood unit and go to the playground for relax. Third way is riding a bike to school or bike to tuition nearby the house so it can prevent air pollution and also save the car oil. The forth way is shopping by phone or mail through internet, this method not only save our times but also can drive less to prevent air pollution .Fifth way is riding by using public transportation such as public bus, travel by public bus can save money and drive less on the road to dispute the air pollution. Last way of this matter is telecommuting which means we can working from home using equipment such as telephones, fax machines and modems to contact with customer or the employee in the office.

        Third, recycling and reforestation play a special role in pollution reduction. Above all else, reusing is a straight-forward thing to do, and should be finished by everybody. Some more dynamic countries, for example, Sweden and Germany, reuse the greater part of their waste while numerous different nations are still lagging behind. This is the minimum we ought to have the capacity to do reuse our post- consumption waste. Reforestation, then again, mitigates the harm that has as of now been done some time recently. Reforestation, on a bigger scale, can help re-establish worldwide atmosphere in addition to entire biological communities that rely on upon the woods for their wellbeing. On a littler scale, in any event, it can help diminish neighbourhood contamination levels and give nearby individuals a chance to live in concordance with their surroundings.
