Philippines, January 1, 2016

At the start of new year, we are going to meet very high levels of air pollution.  Yesterday, or last midnight revelry, ie the smoke from the fireworks, would have accumulated and will settle down among us because it is raining today.

Yesterday's AIR QUALITY INDEX  (please follow and subscribe so that you too can monitor air pollution factually) was 715 in Makati, and 210 and 187 around Muntinglupa area.

Green or       0-50 index would be healthy.
Orange    101 -150 would be unhealthy for sensitive groups
Red          151- 200 - would be really unhealthy
Violet -    201 -300 very unhealthy
Maroon - 300+ Hazardous

Violet maroon and orange levels were reached Thursday.

Air Quality today would be much worse
