*PREVENTION OF AIR POLLUTION*

INTRODUCTION
A. Attention Getter/Gretings
Do you know anything about air pollution? Where does this happen? And what causes
pollution? According to Erin Berl "less air pollution is the answer to a healthy life
solution," and I agree that we should save the air. Air pollution can be caused by increasing
levels of cars, oil refineries, and even factories that pump things like smoke that damage the
environment. Air pollution must be controlled by law and by citizen action.

B. Background of the topic


According to National Geographic (2022), Air pollution consists of chemicals or particles in
the air that can harm the health of humans, animals, and plants. It also damages buildings.
Pollutants in the air take many forms. They can be solid particles, liquid droplets, and gases.
There are several ways that pollution may reach the Earth's atmosphere. People are
responsible for the majority of air pollution, which manifests as emissions from industries,
vehicles, aircraft, or aerosol cans. Air pollution also includes secondhand cigarette smoke.
These pollution-causing human activities are referred to as anthropogenic sources.

C. Thesis Statement
Air pollution must be controlled by law and by citizen action. To control air pollution, we
can turn off electronic and electrical appliances when not in use, use public transport as
much as possible, avoid using plastic bags, recycle and reuse instead of throwing
everything away matter in the environment around us to be specific to our mother earth.

D. Credibility
Good morning to all! I’m Erjhane Clarizz A. Yulip, and I’m here today to discuss and help
you learn more about air pollution. As a student who also cares for our nature, I am here in
front of you to determine how we can take care of our air pollution.

E. Benefits/ Significance
All actions that may or already do produce pollution, including those in the energy,
agricultural, governmental, commercial, and industrial sectors, can be prevented. For the
preservation of wetlands, groundwater supplies, and other crucial ecosystems—areas where
we particularly want to halt pollution before it begins—prevention methods are crucial. This
might make it simple for us to think of tiny ways that we can support Mother Nature.
II. BODY
A. MAIN BODY 1
We have the power to change the world as humans. We may try to make everyone aware
of the harm that air pollution can do to our world if we stop acting immediately to reach
individuals who can take some action to lessen the chance that our environment is
contaminated. There is a project called slogans in school. When you want to tell the
world that it's time to start acting to decrease air pollution, be a constructivist. Studies
advise employing reference-grade devices and a network of inexpensive sensors to
continually evaluate the quality of the air. The First WHO Global Conference on Air
Pollution and Health (2018) issued a warning that "new norms and standards are needed
to guide the appropriate use and interpretation of data provided by citizen science and
other applications."
B. MAIN BODY 2
In the Philippines, air pollution has grown to be a serious issue over time. According to
the World Health Organization's health and environment scorecard, the burning of fossil
fuels like coal and oil is the main cause of air pollution in the Philippines. Long-term, this
will affect air quality because 53% of the population lacks access to clean and modern
cooking facilities. Vehicle emissions are a major contributor to air pollution in the
Philippines, especially in metropolitan regions like Metro Manila. Other sites around the
nation, like Antipolo City Station and San Fernando City Station in Pampanga, observed
increases in air pollution in 2022. The limitations of Covid-19, according to William
Cuñado, Director of the Environmental Management Bureau of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), have lowered the air quality in Metro
Manila and other parts of our nation. The National Capital Region the country had a 10%
decline during the lockdown as a result of the extreme surge. The frequent usage of
fireworks during the New Year's celebration is another cause. The DENR is reinforcing its
commitment to reducing this type of air pollution since fireworks include a mixture of
carbon, sulfur, and other tiny particles that are hazardous to human health. However, for
this approach to be effective, the available Executive Order 28 on the restricted use of
fireworks must be implemented by local government entities. In addition, organizations
like Greenpeace Philippines and the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air
(CREA) revealed the Clean Air Act of 1999's obsolete nature to the world despite the
government's introduction of it. As a result, the government is revising its regulations to
reflect the actual level of air pollution in the nation.
C. MAIN BODY 3
The absence of sufficient data on air pollution makes it difficult to solve the problem.
After all, how can you discover remedies if you don't know what pollutes and how much.
Solving an issue from the beginning has rarely been a successful tactic. The capacity of
regulatory systems to precisely identify susceptible populations and take action to
safeguard the public health is hampered by those. The high expense of obtaining and
maintaining monitoring equipment is one of the main causes of insufficient monitoring.
Although pollution control boards have invested in reference-grade air quality monitoring
devices, this only record exposure at low levels and do not capture ambient pollution. The
capacity of regulatory systems to precisely identify susceptible populations and take action
to safeguard the public health is hampered by those.

III. CONCLUSION
A. Summary of main ideas
I have composed of 3 main ideas, in main idea 1, I talked about how can we prevent air
pollution, in main idea 2 I talked about the effects of air pollution and lastly in main idea
3 I talked about controlling the air pollution and the risks of it.
B. Restatement of Thesis Statement
To reduce air pollution, we could turn off electrical
and electronic equipment when not in use, commute primarily by public transportation,
abstain from using plastic bags, recycle, and repurpose items rather than throw them
away to protect the environment in general and our mother earth in particular.
C. Restatement of Benefits
Prevention practices are essential for preserving wetlands, groundwater sources, and
other critical ecosystems - areas in which we especially want to stop pollution before it
begins.
D. Closing remarks
It is a very important issue since air pollution significantly harms our ecosystem. As all
living organisms are dependent on their surroundings for survival, we are aware of this
fact. So, if there was danger in the air and a lot of mud, would you still live there?
Again I'm Erjhane Yulip once more, and I hope you learnt a lot from this. I also hope that
you will use this as a means to help us rescue the environment.
