Siguen las malas condiciones del aire: alerta ambiental para este martes 16 en la RM
Authorities imposed restrictions on wood heating and older vehicles in Santiago due to severe air pollution. These emergency measures aim to mitigate health risks from toxic levels of particulate matter. The enforcement involves police and surveillance cameras to ensure compliance with these critical environmental rules.

The distinction between wood and pellets often obscures the true environmental impact of these "cleaner" fuel sources.
