Environmental protection and conservation are the basis for sustaining our community and economy. Population growth, infrastructure and development, inefficient water management system and global warming caused pollution to the environment.
Laws were implemented to ensure compliance of the industries to mitigate the significant effects of pollution to the environment.
Republic Act 8749, or the “Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999” was created to strengthen air pollution prevention management. This act focuses on the improvement of air quality as well as the management of air pollution in the country. Air sampling and testing is an assessment of air quality to protect human and environment.
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Administrative Order No. 2016-08: Water Quality Guidelines and General Effluent Standards of 2016 was issued to manage water quality and prevent water pollution by constructing standard parameters of wastewater and effluents before being released back into water bodies.
Philippine National Standard for Drinking Water of 2017 under the Department of Health focuses on setting safe quality drinking water. It shall apply to all water service providers, water refilling stations, ice manufacturers, food establishments, and those other establishments that serve the public its drinking water.
