Urban Traffic Pollution: A Hidden Risk in Malaysia's Growing Cities

2025-12-09 08:30 Last Updated At:08:45

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Malaysia's economy is growing, with GDP projected up 5.2% in Q3 2025, driving rapid urban development. As more people move to cities and new residential and commercial projects emerge, major urban centers like Kuala Lumpur face increasing traffic congestion.

The number of vehicles also continues to rise—registered motorcycles increased by 4.5% and cars by nearly 4% in 2022 compared to 2021—exacerbating emissions of pollutants like PM10. For residents living in high-rise condos close to busy roads, these pollutants easily infiltrate indoor spaces, heightening concerns about everyday air quality and long-term health impacts.

Shielding Homes from Urban Traffic Pollution

Levoit—the leading air purifier brand in the U.S. and other countries—encourages Malaysian families, especially those with children, elderly members, or pets, to take proactive steps to improve indoor air quality.

"Traffic pollutants can linger indoors, affecting air quality long after they leave the streets," says Oscar Mei, Regional Business Director, Asia Pacific, VeSync.

"Levoit champions health with award-winning purification technologies and innovative designs, helping families create safer, more comfortable homes."

Levoit's air purifiers feature 3-stage filtration:

  • Pre-filter: Captures large particles such as dust, lint, and hair
  • HEPA filter: Removes 99.97% of fine particles including smoke, mold, and allergens
  • Activated carbon filter: Reduces odors and harmful VOCs

Many models also include AirSight Infrared Particle Sensors for precise air quality monitoring and VortexAir™ Technology to distribute clean air efficiently.

Urban Traffic Pollution: A Hidden Risk in Malaysia's Growing Cities

Urban Traffic Pollution: A Hidden Risk in Malaysia's Growing Cities

SINGAPORE, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As Singapore's homes become increasingly compact, maintaining healthy indoor air has become a growing concern. With the population now at 6.11 million and thousands of new high-density residential units entering the market each year, families are spending more time in smaller, enclosed environments where pollutants can accumulate more quickly.

In Singapore's humid environment averaging 82% year-round, compact homes can trap mold, dust mites, and VOCs—posing heightened risks for households with children, seniors, pets, or those located near busy roads or construction zones. These challenges highlight the growing need for effective indoor air management in modern urban living.

Supporting Smart Nation 2.0: Smarter Air for Compact Homes

Levoit, the leading air purifier brand in the United States and other countries, offers award-winning, lab-tested technology to help Singaporeans create healthier indoor environments. In line with Singapore's Smart Nation 2.0 initiative, Levoit integrates IoT-enabled air purification with app-based monitoring, giving residents of smaller, high-density homes real-time insights into pollutants, humidity, and PM2.5 levels.

By combining intelligent monitoring with advanced filtration, Levoit empowers families to maintain cleaner, safer air for every household member, with smart features designed to adapt to different needs and lifestyles.

"With the right technology, families no longer have to choose between space, comfort, or air quality—smart solutions make healthy living possible without compromise," says Oscar Mei, Regional Business Director, Asia Pacific, VeSync.

"While working adults can schedule purifiers before arriving home, family members can monitor air quality on the app to ensure a healthy environment for the family."

Levoit's air purifiers feature 3-stage filtration:

  • Pre-filter: Captures large particles such as dust, lint, and hair
  • HEPA filter: Removes 99.97% of fine particles including smoke, mold, and allergens
  • Activated carbon filter: Reduces odors and harmful VOCs

Paired with the VeSync app, Levoit's smart air purifiers give households real-time control and insights into indoor air quality, including PM2.5 levels. By combining advanced filtration with intelligent monitoring, Levoit empowers families to proactively maintain a cleaner, safer, and more comfortable home environment in today's compact urban living spaces.
