Manila Bulletin - Fighting air pollution does not only require data and laws to regulate its sources, it also needs reliable measurement standards to forecast and measure the pollutants in the air. This is what a project of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), now ongoing in the country, aims to improve. Named the Airborne and Satellite Investigation of Asian Air Quality (ASIA-AQ) project, it is held in collaboration with governments in the region with the highest death rates linked to air pollution. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is collaborating with the US agency in this project.
