Abstract
The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between the seasonal variations and concentration of particulate matter (PM10) in Perak using 2015 data sets from ASMA. The concentrtaion PM10 becomes complicated when in contact with meterological parameters, thus, requires thorough investigation. The need to study the point of origins and factors that may contribute to the distribution of PM10 in the atmosphere annually can provide new information to mitigate against future impact of PM10 on the health of the society. Correlation and factor analysis were used for data analyse. The result shows that PM10 concentration during the year 2015 was mostly caused by a transboundary source from a fire in Indonesia which resulted in a massive haze that affected most of South East Asia, including Malaysia. However, there is a negative correlation between weather parameters and PM10 concentrations in the month of September and October.
