 ABSTRACT

Air pollution is a mixture of solid particles and gases in the air. Car emissions, chemicals

from factories, dust, pollen, and mold spares may be suspended as particles. Air pollutants are

poisonous. Inhaling them can increase the chance you’ll have health problems. Man-made

substances can contribute in air pollution.

Since the air pollution is one of the greatest factors that destroy the nature especially in

Mariveles which has a high number of factories, vehicles, and humans that contributes in air

pollution. The researcher decided to develop an organic air filter that will help in decreasing the

amount of air pollution in the community.

The malunggay air filter was tested by the researcher. After being used in the sample

vehicles, the transparency of the smoke were tested together with the airborne emission which is

the amount of smoke released by the vehicles. The researcher tested the product in three sample

vehicles and uses Measures of Central Tendency to compute the data gathered. After the test, the

results showed a positive outcome.

The malunggay air filter has a huge potential in substituting the commercial air filters used

by many people. The result of the test conducted by the researchers shows positive results which

means that the product was able to lessen the pollutants in the air. Using the Measures of Central

Tendency, the computed data shows that the means of the sample has no significant difference

which means that the malunggay air filter can be used not only for a vehicle.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This study cannot be done if not for the people around the researcher that gave the

opportunity to accomplish this study.

First of all, the proponent would like to thank our Father, the Almighty God, for the strength

and knowledge that He gave. This would not be possible without His guidance.

The researcher would also like to give a warm gratitude to their families that helped them

in this research investigatory project like giving such money to buy the materials needed to do this

research.

The researcher would like to thank their subject teacher Mrs. Delfa Dabu that gave such

knowledge that were utilized to finish this research investigatory project.

Lastly, the researchers would like to greet all of their friends who helped in finishing this

research investigatory project.
