POLLUTION: What are the key values and trends?

POLLUTION: What are the key values and trends?

โ™ป๏ธSWM Air & Water || POLLUTION: What are the key values and trends?

The Philippines faces significant environmental challenges due to rapid development, industrialization, and urbanization. These include air, water, and waste pollution. Air quality in the country is deemed moderately unsafe, with pollution from fossil fuels causing around 27,000 premature deaths annually and economic losses of 1.9% of GDP. Water pollution is a growing concern, with the Pasig River, once vital, now classified as biologically dead, and Laguna de Bay suffering from pollution and harmful algal blooms that affect fishing and agriculture.

Solid waste management is a major issue, with increasing waste generation, especially in urban areas like Metro Manila. A significant portion of waste is uncollected, contributing to pollution in water bodies and flooding. Open dumping is still common due to the limited availability of controlled dumpsites. Additionally, the Philippines is one of the top contributors to plastic waste in the ocean, with 0.75 million metric tons entering the ocean annually, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic’s increase in single-use plastic consumption. Plastic pollution is now considered a national crisis.
