This book seeks to provide guidance for Environmental Science undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in the Faculty of Science and Natural Resources (FSSA).
The book covers undergraduate and postgraduate information, admission requirements, facilities, programme activities, academic staff profiles and career prospects.
The SERASI program is one of the efforts to implement environmental education among school students in the state of Sabah, Malaysia. The SERASI program aims to create a society that always cares about the environment. SERASI is also a centre of learning and teaching that can influence schools and communities toward sustainable development. Hence, t...
The environmental impacts of online shopping are multifaceted as many factors are contributing to the impacts. This study was conducted to determine a public university undergraduate students' perceptions of the environmental impacts of online shopping and their intentions to reduce the impacts by using a questionnaire survey. One hundred twenty-si...
This 2nd edition book seeks to provide guidance and instructions for undergraduate students of Environmental Science Programme, Faculty of Science and Natural Resources (FSSA). Our aim in writing this guideline is to assist the Environmental Science students in understanding the structure and procedures related to scientific project so that they ca...
Oil spills are one of the environmental pollutions that commonly occur along
coastal areas. Tar-balls are one of the products that come from the oil spill
pollution. In this study, tar-ball pollution was monitored at 10 points along the
coastline of Marintaman Beach in Sipitang, Sabah, Malaysia. This research
determined the physical characteristics...
Relative treatment efficiency index (RTEI) is used to identify the efficiency of the treatment by the plant itself. The higher the RTEI indicates the more efficient the treatment by the plant studied. In this research, Eichhornia crassipes were used to evaluate its RTEI value in removing heavy metals cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni) and lead (Pb) from was...
The aquaculture sector started in Malaysia since 1920s and has developed quickly nationwide. Sustainability of aquaculture depends on its adaptability to environmental changes. This research includes the study on the impact of the National Policy on Climate Change on the aquaculture industry. Policy appraisal and impact assessment approach have bee...
The issue of heavy metal toxicity has received considerable attention in aquaculture field. Most studies of heavy metal in aquaculture have only focused on fish species and molluscs but not prawn. Thus, the key research objective of this study is to identify and study selected heavy metals in Penaeus vannamei in the study area. In this study, the m...
Background and Objective: This studied about the occurrence of Endocrine Disrupting Compound (EDC) in interest of steroid sex hormone progesterone excretion in the environment, that focusing on water resource in terms of effluent and influent of the waste water treatment into the outlet river and environment. Materials and Methods: A method called...
In this study, we tested the potential application of a previously developed method in detecting Escherichia coli in environmental water samples. To increase the sensitivity of the method, and the recovery of microbial cells, water samples were filtered before being subjected to DNase treatment and polymerase chain reaction amplification. Results s...
Due to arising needs and demands, aquaculture is currently the fastest growing food production sector. In order to increase yield and yet to remain sustainable, the challenges would be to minimise impact on the environment and ecosystem services. Aquaculture activity contributes significantly to Malaysia and also the state of Sabah’s economy and fo...

Since the introduction of Environmental Quality Act (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment) Order 1987 in Malaysia, submission of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) report for approval is mandatory before the commencement of any of the prescribed activities. However, the insufficient ecological inputs have always been the ma...
This study investigates the use of DNase and washing steps in removing dead cells’ DNA during sample preparation and their effect on the detection of viable cells using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results indicated that the DNA from heat-killed cells could be completely removed by DNase; thus, would not be detected by PCR. Inclusion of was...
Heavy metals accumulation and depuration might affect the effectiveness of Meretrix meretrix as a biomonitoring organism in water quality assessment. Therefore this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of heavy metal accumulation and depuration on M. meretrix by immersing it in Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn) and Lead (Pb) solutions under laboratory...
In Malaysia, environmental impact assessment (EIA) has been mandatory since 1988 as a proactive tool in environmental management for 19 prescribed activities. Since ecological information is an important component in EIA, this study examined the quality of ecological input in 41 preliminary EIAs for coastal resort development. Twelve criteria relat...
In Malaysia, en vironmen tal impact assessment (EIA) has been mandatory since 1988 in 19 prescribed activities. This study explores the quality of ecological input in EZA reports for coastal resort development in Peninsular Malaysia. The majority over-relied on descriptive and subjective methods, and gave details that are not site-specific or curre...
