What are the major sources of air pollution?


The main sources of air pollution in Singapore are from the burning of fossil fuel for heat generation in industries, electricity generation and transportation.

The sources of air pollution can be grouped into three categories as follows:

  • stationary sources such as power stations, oil refineries and industries;
  • mobile sources such as motor vehicles; and
  • others such as open burning of waste materials and trans boundary air pollution.
