Air pollution kills

Rizal Philippines  |  December 2, 2013

I noticed the dark horizon as I biked with our group on the way to Ternate Cavite.  I took this picture at C6;  notice the rust color of the sky:

                                        Notice the rust colored band on the horizon

Air pollution from jeepneys today May 19 2013

Antipolo City, PHL   May 19, 2013

 Can anyone beat what this guy did today?



These are superb pictures of the jeepneys doing the things they love most doing:  transporting passengers efficiently, they making livelihood, and us living less.

At Manila East Road near SM area

At Beverly hills area.

                                 A king of the road ascending


                                   Smokesreen at work;  you could not read their plates


                               The aftermath;   so you think this car is a polluter?


                                    The black smoke persists


                                     Polluted air in front of Beverly Hills Antipolo City

                                   Race to the top;   Red Jeepney leading


                                  Bridgestone jeepney on top look to the right side of the pic


                              It was hard to breathe at this point

                                   Wow, great plume of black smoke


                                  The vehicle behind is not to be outdone


                              This Nissan Urvan is also a culprit

                                Note the wisps of black smoke at the side of the blue jeep








                     Nearing the Antipolo church, this jeep eases of the accelerator a bit

It takes a special kind of skill to take these pictures;  sometimes, you see, sometimes you don't.   If you do not time your shot perfectly, you miss seeing/recording the plume of smoke and you end up with a clean picture








This might be boring - taking pictures, posting them in this blog and nothing happens!!!

                               Tricycle and jeepney in a contest who is the best polluter?

My bike ride today has been punctuated by taking too many stops to take pics of air quality.  Thanks to unlimited digital capacity, many pictures can be taken without film expenses and can be posted quickly.

However, for most people, they may look the same and becomes boring afterwards.  Novelty and newness is lost.

However, I am persistent and I will persist until people notice.

Why are tricycles on the highway spewing pollution?

                                  Going up Tower Hills, Manila East Road


                                  Taken from Golden City


                               Polluting with impunity;  no one notices


                                   His pollution is very visible;  not toxic and deadly?


                                  Going up to Robinson Homes, Teresa




                                  The air is whitish yonder because of tricycles


                                        Can we survive the daily onslaught from the tricycles?

More views of street level air pollution

Metro Manila    PHL      |   May 9, 2013

My lectures at a training institute for insurance execs gave me the opportunity to take pictures of other vehicles which are violating the clean air act.  Mind you, the vehicle that I brought is brand new and Euro 4 compliant.

Here are some of the pictures:

                               A superb air polluter;  who cant even see the plate number



                         It is overloaded, no TPM, and air cleaner and oil may be dirty/old







                                         Even gasoline fed engine pollutes the air


                                 The scene is repeated thousand times during the day
