how thick is the air pollution in metro manila?

Answer 1

I don't know a scientific way to quantify that however, I can tell you that on the streets in many places in Philippines, the pollution is horrible. Emissions from vehicles seem worse there than other places I've been and poor driving conditions make traffic a mess. Also, industry is not as controlled as it is in many other countries so that is also a source of pollution. Finally, many rivers that should be BEAUTIFUL assets of the community are destroyed by locals just throwing trash in the water. If the government would step in to provide FREE trash removal in these areas, it would help the environment so much, but the government in Philippines is seriously lacking wise judgment.

Answer 2

Data from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) show that northern Metro Manila is the most polluted part of the metropolis mainly due to traffic congestion.

The amount of pollutants in the air over Valenzuela and Congressional Avenue, between Quezon City and Caloocan, exceeded the acceptable standard, the DENR report said.

[DENR] pointed out that the entire metropolis for the past two years had breached the long-term acceptable level of particulate matter in the air, which is 90 ug/Ncm.

In 2003, Metro Manila had 156 ug/Ncm. This increased by 5 percent last year or 160 ug/Ncm.
