Santiago
Chile has experienced a period of strong economic growth but the speed of that growth has come at a cost to health, productivity and environmental degradation. Air pollution in Santiago, caused by industrial and vehicle emissions as well as street dust blown from unpaved roads and eroded hillsides, is blamed for significant health damage, including premature death and serious respiratory diseases.
Effort
Environmental authorities have plans aiming to reduce concentrations of PM2.5 by 30 percent in 10 years through control of industrial emissions, wood-burning heaters, and transport vehicles.
