The nanoparticles for the mask application project, an industrial collaboration project between EMZI Holdings Sdn. Bhd. with School of Chemical Engineering, UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang located inside the campus. This project is a new idea of an invention that serves for the community benefits and could increase more knowledge on how the use of nanoparticles can affect the level of bacteria protection when it is applied as a medium in the mask. Not to mention, this project might act as a learning area for chemical engineering students, in becoming an entrepreneur or at least increase own interest in creating a business that applies the knowledge of this specific course taken. This project must follow precise temperature control to reach optimum level for higher percentage of reaction to occur. This project consisting of two main materials which are copper (II) and silver nitrate in producing the nanoparticles. Combining agents that are used for trying and error operation is ethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone and hexane. Assisting and taking part in the project along with two of degree students, Nor Fatihah binti Rosian and Kamelia binti Kharuddin. This project has taken place in laboratory 2 of UiTM Pulau Pinang branch. Throughout the operation of this project, two extra researches were conducted in favor for the participation in a conference. Each research is mainly in relation to air pollution with Covid-19 based on analyzing a list of numerous data by using different methods. The first research journal entitled 'Air quality assessment using OpenAir in Seberang Jaya, Penang During Movement Control Operation (MCO)' for the Virtual Colloquium Series 2020-2021: International Symposium on Environmental and Green Chemistry for Sustainable Development 2021 (EnvChem 2021 ). Analysis was conducted to observe varieties of major air pollutants as it is believed that the implementation of MCO affects the amount of air pollution being released. Subsequently, a research journal entitled 'The relationship between air pollution and Covid-19 related cases/deaths: A case study in Klang Valley, Malaysia' for the 5th International Conference on Global Sustainability and Chemical Engineering (ICGSCE 2021 ). Further analysis of variety of data gained with the use of ANN machine to prove the effects of air pollution with the spreading rate of Covid-19.
