Smog in Santiago

Santiago is a beautiful city with many interesting places but with one big problem: The Smog. The smog in Santiago is a result of industrial and cars air pollution, and the inadequate ventilation of the city because of the mountains around.

This is a huge problem because the smog creates breathing problems for the people, especially kids and old people. In fall and winter these problems increase if it doesn't rain in Santiago and the black cloud above the city looks terrible.

The authorities of the city have been working on the ventilation of the city for decades but it is very difficult to have good results if they don't create and implement a radical action to stop these problems. Actions like limiting (but really) the pollution of the companies, being severe with old cars, taking care with polluting heating, etc. On the other hand, they can cut a mountain, but that is more difficult.

We hope to find a solution in a few years because the smog generates sickness and creates a bad image of Santiago.
