Clean air, act

                                   About half of the tricycles I see are like these

Many people, who just want to get on with their livelihood, like tricycles or jeepney business are unmindful still of the effect of their pollution on:

Global warming  -  CO2 emissions become greenhouse gases that traps suns energy that cause in temperature of oceans and atmosphere. The rise in temperature powers up typhoons, and cause bizarre climate changes.

Carcinogens  and diseases:

Pollution cause asthma and cardiovascular diseases coming from PM 2.5.  This was mentioned in earlier posts

Why is the Philippines tops in breast cancer cases?

Clean air, act

Rizal Philippines  |  January 21, 2014

                                   Can you see the xenoestrogens, carcinogen here?

From Cheap Cures post

The Philippine Breast Cancer Org has reported that out of 187 countries surveyed, over a 30 year period from 1990 to 2010, the number of breast cancer cases in the Philippine grew by whopping. 589%  with the highest number reported in Pampanga.  No reason has been determined as the cause.  The stat is that 1/13 women will have breast cancer, 1/4 will die once diagnosed.  I hope every body stays in the 3/4 stats.

We could advance theories:

1.  Deficiency in iodine.   Most experts agree that the level of iodine is low in women with breast cancer.  The reduction in iodine in women with breast cancer is due to ingestion of bromide (found in bread) whichis anti iodine.

2.  Exposure to PAH  (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon)   Where else do you find this except in emission of combustion engine, mostly diesel  engines.  A UP study shows the relationship  PAH from Wiki



Govt agency in charge of monitoring air pollution reports 3x level of pollution post New Year compared to last year

Clean air, act

From Rappler by Pia Ranada

TOXIC REVELRY. During the first few hours of the new year, air pollution in Metro Manila skyrockets


EMB of DENR, using PM (particulate matter ) 10 as a gauge (as mandated by Clean Air Act) for the said agency to monitor was up 3x compared to the same period last year.  While this did not look very visible, it is indeed alarming.   WHO monitors the PM 2.5, the much smaller particles, (they can enter the lungs, alveoli and the cardiovascular system causing not only respiratory disease but also cardio vascular diseases)  We have to amend the law so that DENR employs the new and more relevant health related monitoring.  We were fortunate though the sun shone brightly the following day, and there was light breeze, so the pollutants might have been blown over the ocean (where they could precipitate typhoons, and we did have typhoons lately hahaha)

Some top ten cures for asthma

Clean air, act

Natural Treatment for Asthma from Plant Cures

Rizal Philippines

A number of people I know, including my wife and children are having very bad and frequent asthma attacks lately.  This is due to the cold weather, which contributes pollutants to get lower and irritate the respiratory tracts of individuals.

It may help to go to this link about asthma cures and get some relief soon, the natural way.  As we all know, pharma cures for asthma, are bad for heart and cardio vascular health, since they are mostly sympathomimetics or steroid in nature.  Try the natural cures.

Polluted air leads to increase in asthmatic attacks lately?

Clean air, act

Angono, Rizal | Philippines | January 6, 2013



Is the increase in pollution level triggering many asthmatic attacks and coughing fits lately.  Eveybody in the house are suffering from ashhmatic attacks and coughing fits lately.  Could it be due to colder weather forcing pollutants to settle down into streets and houses, which  we inhale.

From science daily; aerolized diesel particles triggered allergic asthma like attacks

From Ohio State U: smoke, allergens, irritants, severe exercise are triggers to asthma

Pollution from Fireworks last Night January 1, 2014

Clean air, act

 Philippines   | January 1, 2013



New year is just 12 years old.  We just stayed in the house.

We thought that New Year's celebration would have less fireworks.  Yes there was less firework early in the evening but when the clock struck 12, hell broke loose again.

It may not be as  extravagant as say New Year's celebration three 3 years ago.  But again, the air sucked of pollution.  Maybe there were less injuries but nevertheless we love to burn money and pyrotechnics on New Year's day to drive away the demons, but not the bad habits in us.  (like polluting the air with our ill maintained vehicles, smoking, burning bonfires)

Happy and Prosperous New Year everyone.


 Firework remains

Not so clear skies.  Why there was no war zone scene last night and this morning (which was the case 3 years ago)  the skies nevertheless looked affected. Visibility of MM was very poor, even at about 10 am.when the sun was all ready up and hot.

Remember to put 2014 when you write your memos and your check (and these posts!)

Happy New Year.   The year is just a day old.   We hope our lives, our thinking, get better this year.

Yesterday, December 31 2013,  I chanced upon this picture (worth a 3 ideas only, not a thousand words)

I think I got 3 sm in this picture:    San Miguel, SM (the mall) and Smoky Morning.  Now you know. 3SM
