How does air quality in MM look today?

Air pollution kills

I took this picture of MM skyline today.  What do you think?

They say that what gets reported gets done

That is what they always say.

If something is monitored and controlled it gets done.

Does this mean to say that if I continue publishing these polluters, the more they will be encouraged to pollute the air.  And there is no stopping?

Or if I post this, the authorities will take note and arrest the offenders or take steps so that they will either junk their vehicles and/or make them noteworthy.

Common sir:  give us the score;  what is the air quality now.  I do not need to do this if you will do your job.

Why are we having this poor air quality? The answer is blowing in the wind....

Rizal, PHL    May 1, 2013

 Sacto answer.  In the first place, have we made up our mind as to where tricycles really belong?  Is it legal for them to be in the national highway.   Common guys.  And why are we allowing these monsters to pollute the air around us?   The urvan also belches smoke

Why are we having this poor air quality?  I have several hypothesis:

l.  There is no serious enforcement;  from what I heard, vehicle emission test can be bought for SOP feel;   and or there is complacency that really air quality is good;   what are the latest figures? Are there?

2. There are few roadside emission tests or enforcers.  (How many do we have sirs?)

3.  Our mindsets are vs this save the earth, green iniative, or clean air quality is still weak or not set...

4.  Drivers and other workers who are not conscious or simply do not care;  what you do not see will kill you.   Remember, the second smoke in smoking kills;  because the nano particles that are invisible are the ones that kill

                          Smoking in the jeepney;  prohibited in Part VIII sec. 1 of IRR Clean Air ACt

Can you pinpoint from  where the smoke originates?

                                      Just a wisp?

                                   Does barbecue smoke contribute to smoke pollution?

                                 Is it the jeepney or the Elf closed van?

                               Are we prejudiced vs jeepneys?

        Why is it cloudy between SM and the tower hills subdivsion?  the jogger is unaware of the risk

                                Is this jeepney a culprit or not?

                                        Is it the cyclist polluting the early morning air?

                                  Arcman or smoke man?

                                     The closed van and jeepney in action --> polluting the air

                 Caught in the act.... But he is going scot free. No one cares.  Can you read his plate #?

                                   The passengers are not affected by the smoke?

                         My theory is right;  you can see a lot of polluters near top of the hill

  Burning garbage at the street side;  is it legal?  NO   - Illegal under Part VII Section 13 of Clean Air Act IRR

We have such a good law.  The problem is execution.

Laws are fine;  but execution is a bitch

Another view point of air pollution of Ortigas CBD - from Alta Vista, Antipolo City

Alta Vista, Antipolo City  |  April 28, 2013

As I biked today, I found out that there is a vantage view point of Metro Manila at Alta Vista in Antipolo City.  I ventured to find out if no pollution exists if viewed from that point -  it does.  These are what my Nikon Coolpix saw:

 The pollution band over Ortigas CBD seems to grow taller;   not to mention amount of EMF pollution

 Is this jeepney helping the cause of air quality?   I doubt?

 A telephoto shot of Ortigas CBD.  What do you see

 The millionaire mountain view houses;  are they exempt from air pollution?
