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

The blogsite name is "AirPollutionKills" so that the public may pay attention

"Air Pollution Kills"

Are we alarmed?

If we compare the stats, there are more deaths from cigarette smoking than there are from plane crash or traffic accidents.  However cigarette smoking kills softly without creating serious injuries or difficulties in the beginning, but when difficulty of breathing comes in - apnea, COPD, or other serious illness, we begin to wonder where the person got the disease.  And everybody knows that smoking is the culprit.

Now comes second smoke which is said to be worse than the first smoke.

Now comes air pollution.  Is it even worse?   At 5,000 a year death attributed to air pollutants (not pulutan - appetizer)
