    This document discusses the health risks posed by many synthetic air fresheners and aims to develop a natural alternative from pandan leaves. Studies have shown that artificial air fresheners contain hazardous chemicals like heavy metals, pyrethroids, and phenols that can cause issues like asthma, respiratory problems, and liver damage. In contrast, pandan essential oil contains compounds that are used in pharmaceuticals and can improve health through aromatherapy while reducing risks. Pandan air freshener would also be more environmentally friendly as it contains no hazardous chemicals. The document explores how pandan essential oil or cut leaves can effectively be used as natural air fresheners and insect repellents.

    Currently, many synthetic air fresheners are proven to pose risk of developing of a variety of health

    problems such as asthma, breathing problem headache and Bronchial irritation. Liu et al. analysed air
    freshener and reported that smoke from heating contains heavy metals, allethrin and hazardous phenol
    O-cresol. Sharma (2001) stated that the chemical, pyrethrums in air freshener could lead to running
    nose and wheezing, prolonged use will damage the liver corneal and cause asthma. This study aims to
    develop a natural air freshener and repellent from essential oil of pandan leaves to substitute those
    artificial products. Some chemical compounds contained in the essential oil are used in pharmaceutical.
    Therefore, the essential oil form pandan leaves will help to improve the human health through the
    aromatherapy while reducing the risk of getting health problems (Ruratech Services, 2010). Besides, the
    pandan air freshener is an environmental friendly product. It only contains non-hazardous chemical
    compounds meaning it is safer for use in daily life. The usage of pandan leaves will also minimize the
    amount of hazardous chemicals in the waste water resulted from the production of air freshener.

    Since essential oil is kept in small bottles, it saves space and is more convenient to carry around
    compared to pandan leaves. It also has a much longer persistence period which makes it more
    economical as the pandan leaves will wither in a few days. Besides, the aromatic properties are suitable
    in eliminating unpleasant odors. Furthermore, the pandan plants can be grown easily in the South-East
    Asia since it can adapt easily to various environments and has a short growth period. Lee swee leong
