Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, grade: 1.0, , course: Doctor in Development Education, language: English, abstract: The threat of environmental pollution has become one of the chief concerns of this decade and perhaps the rest of this century. Although many individuals think the industrialists are the villains who pollute the environment, the major villains are the consumers who desire and demand new, more, faster, and bigger playthings without thinking about the cost to the environment. Though many living things emit carbon dioxide when they breathe, the gas is widely considered to be a pollutant when associated with cars, planes, power plants, and other human activities that involve the burning of fossil fuels such as gasoline and natural gas. That is because carbon dioxide is the most common of the greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to climate change (Delgado, A. 2019).Alongside being an increasingly important problem, air pollution is a major issue regarding various fields such as environment, health, economy and politics. Pollution is now a common place term, which our ears are attuned to. We hear about the various forms of pollution and read about it through the mass media. The pervasive social and environmental impacts of air pollution make it an important marker for sustainable development across all levels of economic development.Specifically, Philippines as a developing country, it deals with many socio-economic and developmental issues. In the face of these issues, some are concerned that over the past two years and in spite of the current administration's promises, environmental protection appears to have taken a backseat.This paper is anchored on Republic Act No. 8749, also known as Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999. It is a comprehensive air quality management policy and program which aims to achieve and maintain healthy air for all Filipinos. The Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 was signed into law by former President Joseph Estrada in July 27, 1999. This paper serves as a source of reference for the trainers in relevance to air pollution awareness specifically in the Philippines.
