Metro Manila's Air Polllution of Mass Health Destruction

Effective Cures Can be Cheap

                    It rained yesterday, and air quality got worse today.  What is the health payback later on?

                              Air quality is also bad at Loyola Retreat House

                              You can see the trees, but not Laguna Lake;  can you?

                                  View from Unamonte...

                                 There is no fog here;  the haze comes from pollution

You must be wondering about the relationship of air pollution to low cost cures.

l.  Pollution affects our body health much much more than food medicine or health care can.

2.  Pollution is the direct cause of respiratory diseases:  COPD:  bronchitis, asthma, emphysema.  The second smoke from cigarette smoking must be just a microbe compared to this very bad air quality.

3.  Following the Otto Warburg theory of cancer, ie that cancer survives in a low oxygen environment as we have now, then a lot of our population must be harboring incipient cancer cells.

It is time to:

l.  Convince LTO, MMDA, LGU, DENR to launch a no nonsense drive to implement clean air act.  Hmm, maybe they are in air con cars or they dont see these.  What you do not see cant hurt you?  Let us see.

2.  It they dont, time to  migrate to the provinces.

I hope this blog catches the attention of our public sector executives.

 
 This is Cairo, Egypt;  one of the worst polluted;  are we catching up?
