AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Article 1 General Provision
Section IV1.01. Statement of Policy. Given the complexity of clean air management and the insufficient technology and resources available to local governments for the conduct of atmospheric monitoring and evaluation, the Municipal Government shall to the greatest extent prevent the continued degradation of air quality within its territorial jurisdiction through necessary precautionary and preventive measures to ensure the maintenance of ambient air quality at such levels prescribed by the DENR.
