DENR pursues clean air program | The Manila Bulletin Newspaper Online: "The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has installed its second fully automatic air quality monitoring station in Valenzuela City Wednesday for the collection of real-time pollution data in northern Metro Manila.
Leading the launch at the grounds of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela (PLV) at Mayson Road in Malinta, Valenzuela were Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) Director Juan Miguel Cuna, representing DENR Secretary Ramon Paje; Valenzuela City Administrator Teresita Capacillo, representing Valenzuela City Mayor Sherwin Gatchalian; and PLV President NedeƱa Torralba.
Paje earlier said the station would be part of the agency’s continuing efforts to improve air quality especially in Metro Manila, where vehicles contribute about 80 percent of pollutants.
“As part of our clean air program, the data that this station will collect will be used as reference for crafting air quality management programs and policies especially by the local government unit,” he said."
