600486.jpgThe Chilean capital of Santiago is yet again under an emergency alert for the levels of smog reached in the city. The above photo from Spain’s 20 Minutos shows the city almost invisible and covered by smog on May 24th. Yesterday the city government declared another emergency alert which took 600,000 cars off the road in an effort to bring down the smog levels. According to 20 Minutos, reports of bronchial obstructions and pneumonia in children and the elderly went up 30 percent on Monday.
