Air pollution worsen in Metro Manila

(UPDATE) THE easing of pandemic restrictions worsened the air pollution in Metro Manila, an official of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said on Friday.

The DENR's Environmental Management Bureau Director William Cuñado said that during the implementation of Covid-19 restrictions, all the monitoring stations in the National Capital Region (NCR) registered green which meant good air quality.
