Air Pollution situation yesterday, Sunday October 27, 2013

Air pollution kills

When we rode yesterday to Lemery Batangas, had the opportunity to take this quick shot of Makati CBD.  Since the morning air is colder being BRE month all ready, the air pollution hangs low.  Shall we wait for the air pollution so that it will just be like in Harbin China? Let us see.

 Is this Ok for people of Makati?


You could hardly see Makati CBD skyline.  On a clear day, you can see the outlines of the building


I also saw that in Mendez road, 90% of the vehicle plying the high way up to Tagaytay are smoke belchers.  I could clearly remember the number of the bus 881 of Florida Rosa who was descending from Tagaytay to Manila emitting black smoke.  As I washed my legs and thighs last night, there were plenty of black soot, that stuck to my legs due to air pollution.  What is happening to my lungs

China Air Pollution news from Forbes

China smog pictures from Huffington Post

Photos of air pollution in Harbin from CNN | Oct 22 2013


Smog shut down a city of 11 million people in Northeastern China in capital city of Harbin, province of  Hellongjiang.  PM 2.5, whose max limit set by WHO is 300,  reached 1,000 in some parts of the city.  The thick smog caused poor visibility resulting in suspension of classes in primary and middle classes, closing down the airport,  and bus routes.   Visibility was only at 10 meters

The condition is expected to persist in the next 24 hours

What do you think of this problem in China?

What could have been the cause, the Australian wildfires?

Would this happen to the PHL?

Coal fired plants?

Air Pollution Persists

Air pollution kills

What is the business of this motor tricycle in the highway going up to Antipolo City?

Rizal PHL  | October 20, 2013

Despite hundreds of posts, nothing has changed with air pollution situation.  No one has lifted his hand, nor taken positive steps. These are pictures of air pollution in Antipolo City.  Paging the public sector, the enforcers of the Clean Air Act:  DOH, DENR, LTO:

How about the LGU?

Let us try to post air pollution again; try and try until they notice

Air pollution kills  | October 13, 2013

 Fountains of pollution from this motorcycle that seems to be overspeeding

I got tired of posting because nothing happens, but we have to make people be aware of the problem.  I would not like to use the world hopefully.  So we can only hope or pray.  There is no money here as with PDAF or DAP.  So no one is interested.   WIFM is an important station - What is It For Me, and we are not tuned to that, everything is neglected.

                               Pollution at Maybancal Morong

                               This parked jeep is fountain of global warming and PM 2.5


                                This unprotected motorcyclist contributes to the plague


                      The jeepney with surplus Japanese diesel engine does it share in polluting the air


                                  So many polluting tricycles in Morong, Rizal


                                  These two tricycles on a contest who pollutes the worst


                                   The mother and child unmindful of bad effect of air pollution


                                  Heavy pollution from this tricycle going up Namay


                                    Air pollution from bonfire






                                 Tricycles who have gone up Maybancal left the white smoke




Smoking kills, the group warns

Air pollution kills



I met several mountain bikers;  they are from Rizal High School Class 88 and advocate No Smoking.  As we know, smoking is not healthful and contribute to respiratory tract cancer, most especially lung cancer.  Survival from cancer is very low.  Just to remind some people.

We know of many bikers who bike and smoke.  Would you know who they are?  Sayang.  They could be much stronger and faster.
