Wearing, Breathing, Living Smog!
Yuck…. its pretty minging in Santiago at the moment. What looks like dust is hanging in the air, hanging over the buildings, obscuring the view of the mountains and giving us all long, crackling, whooping coughs.
Its still 26 degrees during the day. But that causes the problem… the sun converts emissions into toxic gases!
Its 4 degrees at night. Another problem (temperature inversions). The smog is trapped in the city and just swirls around, day and night. Gently descending on our balcony, our clothes, the cars, the streets, the gardens.
We’d jump in the car to escape if we owned a car…. but that would only make it worse!
