LPG-Converted Taxi Dangerous to Your Health

A Department of Health (DOH) study has confirmed the findings of an Inquirer special report last year that warned against the health risks posed by improperly converted taxis that use auto-liquefied petroleum gas (ALPG).

Eduardo Janairo, DOH National Capital Region director, said the study conducted with the University of the Philippines-National Poison Management and Control Center (UP-NPMCC) showed that the improper conversion of taxis could expose cabdrivers and passengers to ALPG.

Janairo said the Center of Health-NCR conducted the rapid health assessment study because of the rising number of complaints of “dizziness, headache, light-headedness and dryness of throat among taxi drivers whose vehicles were LPG-converted.”

Janairo said overexposure to ALPG could lead to “unconsciousness and even death.”

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
