In Malaysia, the statistic of the air pollution is quite high due to the modernization phase. Government had invested a lot to deal with the excessive emission of pollutants in terms of energy and money. Therefore, a new green technology, called Smog-Eating Technology is suggested to be implemented in Malaysiaas it can be categorized as the passive technologies which help to break down the particles of the pollutants naturally. Titanium oxide is the main and crucial element in this technologysince the infusion of titanium oxide with building components will enhance their ability to react with pollutant’s particle and break it into salt which then will be washed away by rain. Since this technology is new to Malaysia and hails from abroad, this paper will focus on the introduction of smoge-eating technology for Malaysia’s climate and its function to reduce air pollution.
