With its 2019 PM2.5 reading of 14.9 µg/m³ placing it in 32nd place of out all 60 ranked cities in Malaysia, Simpang Ampat has a fairly respectable ranking, but with plenty of room for improvement. It is ranked worldwide as number 1253 out of all the most polluted cities in the world. With initiatives to reduce the amount of industry related emissions and vehicle activity taking place, it could see its reading drop down to a good reading, similar to the city of Kuah, which came in with a 2019 average of 11.9 µg/m³, putting it into the ‘good’ rated category by a fine margin. With Simpang Ampat having three months during 2019 coming in with a good ranking, a further push to reduce levels of PM2.5 could get other months into the good category and offset the damage done during the month of September, allowing it to get an even more respectable ranking and improving the quality of air that its citizens breathe.
