Latest air pollution pics at MM
Clean air, act
Rizal Philippines | February 28, 2015
Here are the latest on air pollution at MM as seen from Angono lakeside park:
Why is the sky rust colored? Can you see the buildings at BGC?
x A study of contrast: water lily and kingfisher birds vs the backdrop of buildings covered with smog? Pollution?
A very poetic and poignant shot of the lake and the air pollution.
The sun is shining and about to vaporize the air pollution?
x Grey skies even when sun is shining
x Pollution from bonfires
View of Alabng buildings; is that Crimson hotel?

Air Pollution photo study today, December 22, 2013
Clean air, act
Rizal Philippines | December 22, 2013
Merry Christmas to all
As I was taking photos of this air pollution, people who were watching why? I said, the ST Yolanda that hit Central Visayas on November 8, 2013 came from carbon emissions/air pollution and many do not see that connection. The tricycle driver, the jeepney driver, the bonfire maker does not see that.
The effect of what we do does not affect us immediately. The garbage and plastic that we throw carelessly away do not come back to us, until say one year after when it floods.
And so with air pollution. The heart disease and cancer that air pollution can cause may show up five years from now from those who inhale the foul air.
What about the global warming (from greenhouse gases resulting from carbon emission/pollution)? Well it is here it struck our brethren last November 8, 2013.
At what cost: 6,000+ lives lost and billions in damages. It toppled electric towers, it meant at least 2 billion pesos and destroyed power generators. It is striking back power companies using diesel, bunker fuels, and coal. Why cant we wake up to the fact. As of now, it means less demand and less sales, if not losses.
This site think we can understand this.

November 1 2013 air pollution photo study
Air pollution kills
Rizal PHL | November 1, 2013
Today we remember the day for the dead. But we could be next soon if do not address the problem of air pollution. We just learned from WHO IARC that air pollution, aside from causing heart disease is the cause of lung cancer. Lung cancer does not have cure.
The number one cause still of lung cancer is smoking. But we can get lung cancer even if we are non smoker because of air pollution. But nobody seem to notice or care. This site intends to call the attention of our environment and health protector to take note. Do they notice this or pay attention? This is for public consumption.
Therefore, we must take steps to abate air pollution. How? When? Who? Where? We know now the why and what
Burning rice straws in the field
Bonfires to burn leaves and trash are still very common and unabated
Will flowers wilt if they smell air pollution
Air pollution in front of public market in Angono, caused by tricycles
x
A jeepney dutifully fulfilling its mission of dirtying air
Air pollution in Morong
Another apostle of air pollution
Another bonfire
A tricyle does its share to make our day
The boyish face of the mayor gets old from the smoke

Does this bonfire not affect air quality?
Are they smudging the bamboo trees?
I hope they are not burning plastics
Is the hazy San Carlos Hts the result of collective smokes of bonfires?
The telephoto did not work hard enough;wisp of smoke at the middle of the photo
The smokestack spewing its load early on
Can you see the smokestack painting the sky?

More pollution pictures watch today April 22, 2013
Rizal, Philippines | April 22, 2013
Here are some more pollution watch pictures today:
Kingfishers and Heron birds frolick and feast on fish near fish pens in Laguna Lake; look at the backdrop of polluted air in MM.
A steel plant in Taytay; I just do not know if they have been operating all ready.
BGC buildings are now just silhouettes behind a back drop of air pollution
Wisps of smoke billow from a factory somewhere in Pasig? Their emission towers above the rest. Kingfishers and heron in flight
Mountain top pollution (at San Carlos Hts)
Nice lake, pollution yonder
That tricycle spews visible source of air pollution
Bonfires in Tayuman, Binangonan, Rizal
Pictures are clearer because I acquired a new Nikon Coolpix S3200 point and shoot camera, but 6x magnification and 16 megapixels

Burning leaves and bonfires still prevalent
Angono, Rizal PHL | April 21, 2013
I thought that BFP and local barangay prohibit bonfires or burning of leaves. And besides, the leaves become good compost, and help in mulching. We have a do a greater job of changing mindsets of residents regarding bonfires in relation to air pollution. Everything everybody can help reduce the menace:
They are burning tires
There are dozens of bonfires being lit at San Carlos Hts
