The approximate locations of the sampling stations are shown in the attached
sampling map and are briefly described as follows:

Station 1 Along EDSA near PWU, Brgy Philam, Quezon City

N= 14º 38’ 55.70” E= 121º 02’ 03.43”
Upwind/wind direction / North-East

Station 2 Near T. Benitez Street, Brgy Philam, Quezon City

N= 14º 38’ 48.49” E= 121º 02’ 04.76”
Downwind/wind direction / North-East

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

The ambient air sampling and noise measurement results are presented in the
following tables. All supporting field data, analytical reports and calibration records
are provided in the attachments.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

The results of the aforementioned sampling activities were compared to the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards for Source Specific Air Pollutants (NAAQSSAP) as
stipulated in Table 3, Section 1, Rule XXVI, Part VII of the Implementing Rules and
Regulations (IRR) of the Philippine Clean Air Act.

The Ambient Air Sampling for all stations was conducted on a sunny weather
condition with light wind direction. The results of the sampling analysis shows that
the ambient concentrations were all within the DENR Standards limit in all sampling
stations.

Noise Measurement

The DENR Environmental Quality Standards for Noise is based on the 1978 Rules
and Regulations of the National Pollution Control Commission. AS per these
regulations, noise is measured in “A” weighting network and “slow response” with
different limits for various time of the day and area category.

The results of noise level measurement were compared to the standards based on
the existing land use within the sampling locations. All stations are located near
commercial area/site and therefore considered Class C (Industrial and Commercial
Area). All noise level measurement are were within the limit for Class C area.

The main sources of noise observed during sampling were mostly from vehicles
passing along EDSA Main road.
