Pollution in Manila

In 1977 the Environmental Management Burea declared that there were 1350 manufacturing and industrial firms, 65% of it were potential sources of air pollution. It is then projected that it will increase in the next period and we are now on 2009 so meaning to say the 65% might be 80 to 90% air polluion in Metro Manila. This means that Metro Manila was the most polluted area in the Philippine.

Aside from manufacturing and industrial firm another factors that greatly contribute to our air pollution was the motor vehicles. 45% registered vehicle approximately can be found in Metro Manila. This means that 55% were scatered all over the country meaning the numbers of vehicles in Manila were very high so it contributes to air pollution.

The GMA TV anchor (Unang Hirit) makes a test on air pollution in around in Metro Manila. They found out that the place around Manila was very polluted.

There was also an air pollution test done in Quezon City. The researcher make used of filter to identify the air pollutant in Quezon city. It reveals that there were particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury and etc around the places. By the way the filter was place above the roof top of a certain building the building was not mention.In addition to this smoke belching were also a main factor of great contributors of the air pollutants.

Vehicle can produced 99% carbon monoxide and 83% nitorgen oxide which were very dangerous to human being. The number of the smoke belching were dramtically increased in every part of the country. Though there is a republic act for air pollution in the Philippines but it is not implemented.

Implementations of the so called "clean air act" is a good plan by the senate but still a dream. I hope this will lead my country men clean the air by simplying no smoke belching policy by their own self
