Air pollution is an act of staining the cleanliness of the air causing its quality to decrease. Therefore, the causes of air pollution should be addressed immediately to make it easier for us to deal with them before it gets rampant and protracted. Smoke emissions by vehicles also contribute to air pollution in the country. This study aims to identify the level of awareness of Bangi Gateway customers regarding the source of air pollution due to the increase in the use of vehicles especially in Bangi, Selangor. In addition, levels of knowledge, awareness and solution measures to prevent air pollution from occurring were also identified. A total of 150 respondents were selected to answer the questionnaire via the Google Forms link. Data collection is in the form of a Likert scale. The findings found that the majority of respondents are very concerned about environmental pollution and the impact of environmental pollution on the local community. Among the proposed solutions are the use of electric vehicles and public transport, the sharing of vehicles to get to the same place, as well as the use of bicycles or scooters as well as walking for short distances. This initiative will not only save costs but also improve the health quality of the community.
