Abstract

Ozone (O₃) is unique among pollutants because it is not emitted directly into the air, and its results from complex chemical reactions in the atmosphere. O₃ can bring different effects for all the living on earth (either harm or protect), depending on where O₃ resides. This is the main reason why O₃ is such a serious environmental problem that is difficult to control and predict. The objective of this paper is to analyze the variations of total column O₃ measured by Brewer O₃ spectrophotometer over Global Atmosphere Watch Station (GAW) regional station, which is located at southwest of Peninsular Malaysia, Petaling Jaya. Total column O₃ observations in Petaling Jaya are studied for the period January 2008 to December 2008. Ozone shows seasonal variation with maximum (276.8 DU in May 2008) during pre-monsoon season and minimum (246.8 DU in January 2008) during northeast monsoon season. In addition, the monthly O₃ maps for the year of 2008 were obtained from the NASA-operated Giovanni portal to overview the distribution of total column O₃ in Peninsular Malaysia. For the upcoming studies, validation of ground measurements with satellite O₃ data and study of tropospheric O₃ over the study area is recommended.
