AIR POLLUTION
AIR POLLUTION
Air pollution is a mix of
hazardous substances from
both human-made and
natural sources.
Air pollution is contamination
of the indoor or outdoor environment by
any chemical, physical or biological agent
that modifies the natural characteristics of
the atmosphere.

Considering that 53% of the population is without access
to clean fuels and technology for cooking, this is bound to
further exacerbate air quality in the long run.
CAUSES OF AIR POLLUTION IN THE
PHILIPPINES
• VEHICULAR

Lifting COVID-19 restrictions particularly
deteriorated air quality in Metro Manila. For
the most part, this was due to an acute surge
in the number of vehicles on the street,
