What is Leveraging microalgae utilization for anthropogenic CO2 emission abatement in Malaysian urban centre: Revisiting the sustainable development goal (SDG-13) about?

Anthropogenic rise in atmospheric CO2 level is a major contributor to global warming thus posing a threat to the rapidly increasing Malaysia's population. An in-depth investigation focusing on the use of microalgae for CO2 abatement and pollution screening in Malaysia is thus necessary. The use of microorganisms like microalgae has been proposed as a means to mitigate the negative effect of anthropogenic CO2. The advantages of using microalgae for pollution monitoring far exceed the drawbacks. Algal communities rely on CO2 for photosynthesis because of their capacity to absorb and store more CO2 for growth. This explains why algae are often used to clean the air in our communities. This is because they may be used on both a micro and a macro scale to assess the effects of environmental changes over time. Since the usage of specialized measuring devices may be expensive, replacing them with microalgae as a phytoremediation technology is a viable and cost-effective alternative. This can be utilized to quantitatively identify environmental changes, thus allowing stakeholders to make more well-informed decisions to ameliorate the long-term impacts. This is especially critical in indust
