Stack Monitoring in Malaysia: Ensuring Compliance with DOE Regulations
Stack monitoring is an essential requirement for industries that release emissions through stacks such as chimneys, boilers, and process vents. It helps ensure that air pollutants are controlled and comply with environmental regulations enforced by the Department of Environment Malaysia (DOE). In Malaysia, air emission control is governed under the Environmental Quality Act 1974 and related regulations, including the Clean Air Regulations.
What Is Stack Monitoring?
Stack monitoring refers to the measurement of pollutants emitted from industrial stacks. It involves sampling and analysing gases and particulate matter to determine whether emission levels are within permissible limits.
Common parameters monitored include:
- Particulate Matter (PM)
- Sulphur Dioxide (SO₂)
- Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
- Carbon Monoxide (CO)
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
