Toxic and hazardous waste is jointly monitored by City Hall and the Department
of the Environment-Federal Territory of the Ministry
of Science, Technology and the Environment. However, only the Department
can bring offenders to prosecution with supporting evidence provided by
either itself or City Hall. In such cases they work closely with the Health
Department under City Hall, in particular the Environmental
Protection Unit. The Department
of Environment also regulates black smoke emission in the Federal
Territory of Kuala Lumpur under the Area Watch
and Sanction Inspection (AWASI) and noise
pollution monitoring programmes (Ministry of Science, Technology and the
Environment, 1995).
