grabe talaga! kung hindi lang tayo island na napapaligiran ng dagat, suffocated na talaga tayo sa pollution.

that's why it's good to have typhoons once in a while to blast them all off.

[mbeige]

^^But the typhoons will cause flooding, another problem with the inadequate drainage system we have.

a sign of progress hehehe

dont you just love the air in manila.. hehehe so fresh!so clean!

kaya i hate looking out from our office sa pbcom in ayala ave when i have my lunchbreak...i look towards SLEX/coastal...and i see SMOG.

[rsnald]

for a clearer view, try going up to antipolo via sumulong road on a cool clear morning... stop kayo dun sa part where you can see the entire of metro manila and you'll get an idea of the extent of pollution of the metropolis...

[pajerokid]

i notice that in cold mornings, the pollution seems to get concentrated a couple of hundred feet from ground level and as the day goes on and temperatures rise, so does the smog.

grabe... the air is soooo dirty as you can clearly see. taken from my office window at around 7am earlier (coding hehe).

The pic below also shows how clear the sky would be if there were no smog. Usually the whole sky would be gray but i guess due to the properties of smog, it gets clearly separated when cold.

ay oo sir moderator.

coming from Nlex (north) to balintawak. you will see the smog on top of the city. and you will think theres a storm coming.

matindi talaga pollution sa manila. basta pumupunta ako manila lagi ako may sore throat for a couple of days until i get to adapt the envirnoment.

That's a really good pic of really bad air quality.

Here's what my wife took upon bringing her to work around July along Commonwealth Ave. rush hour. It's because the denser particulates fall during the night when it gets cooler as less cars drive around. Then when the sun shines against it, you see it against the sky.

Believe it or not, when we had wildfires here in California, the smoke and sky reminded me of how it was there. That's not good!!

Sir,

Mula saan mo nakuha ang pic?

[pajerokid]

My pic was taken from ortigas center. i think mgbeige's was from commonwealth

[juntzo]

OT:

that's why i setup my office here in the province. coming from the US. my choices at first were makati or alabang, but changed my mind when i saw the traffic and pollution. now i have fresh air everyday and cheaper cost of living!
