From Bizlink Philstar by Rey Gamboa 2009
Rey Gamboa laments that since the passage of Clean Air Act of 2009 (CCA) RA 8749, its implementation took a nosedive since 2003. The compliance focussed on the lead content and benzene content of gasoline. Emission testing prior to motor vehicle registration can be bought, the roadside emission testing is done once in a blue moon - look at the pictures I posted to see the truth of this allegation. If you ride the jeepneys in the province, despite the no smoking signs, the jeepney drivers take lead in smoking.
So who cares?
Clean Air Act, RA 8749 from Chan Robles
Implementing Rules and Regulations of CAA from Chan and Robles
I noticed that the law and the IRR do not mention of PM 2.5, the more deadly form of particulate matter; the law needs upgrading? Only PM 10 is mentioned
This site would like followers and leaders to be aware of air pollution and how it impacts our lives and health. We seem to be uncaring about this growing serious problem which we know is there but we do nothing. Shall we wait for air pollution to be as serious as in Beijing? When do we act? Air pollution, Metro Manila, , lung, heart, cancer, diseases, global warming, low visibility, PM 2.5, Clean Air Act, smoke belchers, climate change, super typhoons, drought, AQI
