N2  - This study is preliminary in nature wherein emission factors coeffi-  cients developed by the World Health Organization on pollution and waste  loads from industrial and domestic sources, air emission from industrial  processes, and municipal and industrial solid waste loads were used in the  assessment of pollution loads from major land-based point sources in Iligan  Bay in the Philippines.  Total pollution loads into the bay annually were computed. From the  assessment results, it was noted that the BOD loadings from industrial  effluents were much greater than that from domestic sources, whereas annual  waste loading from domestic sources were. relatively greater from industrial  effluents.  Through this pollution load assessment study, it was found out that  the heavy metal pollution of the southern coast of Iligan Bay has already  reached its alarming stage. In the northern coast of the bay, air pollution  problems, particularly dust emissions from the cement manufacturing plants  has adversely affected its surrounding vicinity
