Navotas Landfill Fire Smoke Emissions Significantly Reduced, Says PhilSA

The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) reported a notable decline in smoke emissions from the ongoing landfill fire in Navotas City over the past two days, according to satellite monitoring. The agency's observations indicate improved air quality conditions in the affected area, though officials continue to advise caution for nearby residents.

PhilSA's analysis, based on satellite imagery, shows a steady decrease in the intensity of smoke plumes since the fire began. This development offers some relief to communities exposed to hazardous fumes. Local authorities are coordinating response efforts to fully extinguish the fire and mitigate environmental impacts.
