Un nuevo informe publicado el martes clasificó las ciudades más contaminadas del mundo. En el caso de América del Sur, 9 de las 10 ciudades más contaminadas se encuentran en el territorio de Chile.

La información fue recopilada durante el 2018 por las empresas IQ AirVisual y Greenpeace, y se basa en una medida diaria de la contaminación del aire basada en partículas finas (PM2.5) en el aire

Chile conmemora 9 años del trágico terremoto del 2010

A nivel mundial, el informe establece que de las diez urbes más contaminadas del planeta, siete se ubican en la India.

De igual forma, apunta a que al menos siete millones de personas en el mundo morirán a consecuencia de la contaminación de aire. Los costos asociados a la contaminación llegarán a los 225 mil millones de dólares.
