The smog monitored in Metro Manila may be primarily attributed to the emissions from heavy vehicular traffic as the plumes from Taal Volcano have minimal effect in the region, concerned agencies said Friday.
DENR’s Environmental Management Bureau said there was a possible occurrence of “thermal inversion” where warmer air is held below the cooler air. Aside from this, the EMB said it was also observed that the wind is coming from the northeast direction going to the southwest direction or going away from Metro Manila.
“Kaya hindi nakakaalsa maigi ang mga pollutants natin sa siyudad ...This is mainly vehicular emissions,” she added. According to the EMB, the air quality in Parañaque, Makati, and Pateros were “unhealthy.” This was reported amid the volcanic fog caused by Taal Volcano’s activity in Batangas.
