00:00Some parts of Metro Manila were covered with smog or mixed with smoke and fog
00:06following the new year's greetings.
00:09The celebration also left a lot of trash.
00:13This is Bernadette Reyes.
00:18Left and right, the streets are full of trash following the new year's greetings.
00:24Just like Taft Avenue in Pasay earlier,
00:26where the people of City Hall cleaned up early.
00:29In some parts of Pasig, trash was also piled up on the streets.
00:32We even passed by the city hall trucks.
00:36Even in Manila, the trash was piled up in the mountains.
00:39That's why it was helped to be cleaned using broomsticks and tractors.
00:44There's a lot of corn husks.
00:47It's also the usual trash.
00:49Of course, during the new year, there's a lot of trash.
00:52On the first day of 2025, this is how much trash was piled up on Recto Avenue.
00:58According to the Department of Public Services,
01:01this is the amount of trash that was piled up from yesterday until earlier this morning.
01:05Aside from the trash,
01:10some parts of Metro Manila were also covered with smog or mixed with smoke and fog earlier.
01:15This was observed in Manila, such as P. Burgos, Jones Bridge, and Divisoria.
01:21Even until 2 p.m., smog was still visible in Kuhang, in the parts of Mandaluyong and San Juan.
01:27The D.E.N.R.'s data continues to spread.
01:30But according to the Swiss research firm, IQ Air,
01:33the air quality in Manila reached an unhealthy level today.
01:37This air quality index is more than 15 times higher than the World Health Organization.
01:45It is also recorded as the 16th most polluted air in more than 100 cities on the list.
01:52This is the air quality monitoring equipment used by the D.E.N.R. EMB
01:56to measure air pollutants in the environment,
01:59such as small particles.
02:01Not only in the environment does this air have an effect,
02:04because according to experts, it can be harmful to the human body.
02:08These fine particles can reach our bloodstream and our respiratory system.
02:16And in the case of smog, there are toxic substances that can cause cancer.
02:27It is more dangerous to those with comorbidities such as asthma and cancer,
02:32so they are advised not to go out or wear a face mask.
02:36For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your Saksi.
