WASTE DISPOSAL MANAGEMENT OF
FACE MASK IN FILIPINO HOUSEHOLDS AND THE LOCAL
AIR LAWS – PART 1
GOVERNMENT THROUGH INCINERATION
SUBTITLE HERE
MODULE INTRODUCTION:
This module will introduce civil air laws and
regulations including topics on 1944 Chicago
Convention, Conventions, ICAO Annexes, Philippine
Regulatory Framework, Freedoms of the Air, Value of
a National Flag Carrier as well as the role of global
industry association.
 AIR LAW
- It is a series of rules
governing the use of airspace
and its benefits for aviation,
the general public and the
nations of the world. Like, the
terms of Aviation Law and, or
Navigation Law are become
outdated, the designation of
Air Transportation Law has
been employed on occasions,
but the areas it covers are only
conveying a narrow
interpretation.

Organizations
• Philippines
• Environment
 The process of incineration
offers efficient waste
UNIQUE management which is a major
advancement for incineration. It
BENEFITS can burn up to 90% of total
waste generated.

CONCLUSION
AND
RECOMMENDATION
• The process of incineration
is a possible way in fixing
this arising issue with
medical wastes and its
disposal.
• The researchers recommend
that an appropriate and
location based cost benefit
analysis for high powered
incinerators must be
conducted to assess the
impacts of incinerators over
the years.
