Pollution concentration in southern Chile

Hi everyone, today I'm going to talk about pollution concentration in southern Chile due to wet firewood. 

These days, the south of country (in cities like Talca, Los Ángeles and Chillán) has great pollution quantities due to utilization wet firewood to cook and heat homes. Of course, there more factors for the great pollution quantities in these cities, but the misuse of firewood and reduced cost in illegal commercialization helped to increase particular material, like a PM10 or PM2.5, and affect human health.

For this reason, the authorities declared environmental emergency for fifth time in six days. The emergency affect the industries activities, fireplaces and any other activities related with firewood, decreasing labor productivity in the zone. In Chillán, the emergencies continue because environmental condition helps pollution concentration.

CONAF with firewood sellers of region of Bío-Bío made a contract for improve the quality organic fuel and to stop contamination. The contract seeks to stop wet firewood sel, because this is the reason for the great damage to environment. The combustion of water on wood causes large amounts of smoke and bring respiratory diseases. Add this, the wet firewood combustion helps remove the heat capacity of this so takes up more family resources.
Is forestry work find efficient and environmentally friendly solutions to stop this sanitary problem and prevent in future.
