Angie dela Cruz - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines — Upang malinis ang hangin sa polusyon, ikakalat ng Quezon City government ang air quality monitoring sensors sa iba’t ibang lugar lungsod.

Tumanggap si Mayor Joy Belmonte at Environment Protection and Waste Management Department (EPWMD) head Andrea Villaroman ng walong  units ng air quality sensors na susukat sa  pollutants kahit sa dangerous particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) na mula sa usok ng sasakyan at pabrika.

Ang matagal na pagkaka-expose sa ganitong mga pollu­tants ay nakakaapekto sa kalusugan ng tao dahil ang  particles nito ay napupunta sa baga at blood streams na nagdudulot ng  asthma at sakit sa puso.

“Quezon City is very grateful to C40 Cities and Clean Air Asia for their continuous assistance in capacitating city officials and technical staff in terms of developing a more comprehensive strategy to improve air quality in the city. Through these air qua­lity monitoring sensors, we will be able to gather the city’s air quality baseline data that will help us in planning and determining programs, projects and policies to reach our goal,”pahayag ni  Mayor Belmonte .

Sa loob ng dalawang buwan, ang monitoring sensors ay ilalagay sa “pollution hotspots sa Novaliches, Sto. Domingo at Quezon Memorial Circle bilang  monitoring sites.
