Soil Quality Standards in the Philippines

Requested from BSWM by K. Cabatit at 07:14 PM on May 11, 2023.

Hi, I would like to ask if you have any documents or information regarding national standards for soil quality in the Philippines.

The DENR Administrative Order 2016-08 has standards for water bodies in the Philippines to combat water pollution. There are parameters that have to be limited such as BOD, fecal coliform, inorganics, metals, organics, etc. I would like to know if there are also standards for soil pollution in the Philippines. In other countries, some parameters have to be limited for soil such as cadmium/cyanide/lead/arsenic content, etc.
