Overpopulation also results in abuse of the country's natural resources. This, in turn leads to
different environmental problems. Pollution is also a factor associated with overpopulation.
Waste disposal in the Philippines is a worsening problem which threatens the environment.

The Environment and Natural Resource Accounting Project (ENRAP) indicated that households
were found to be the major contributors to air and water pollution in the Philippines. (cited in
Orbeta, Pernia and Indab, 1999) For air pollution in 1992, 64 percent of particular matter, 89
percent of volatile carbon and 90 percent of carbon monoxides come from households while 44
percent of biological oxygen demand, 61 percent of suspended solids and 76 percent of
Phosphate contribute to water pollution (cited in Orbeta, Pernia and Indab, 1999).
