The 120 thousand devices junker running this fuel (7% of total) account for 70% of the PM2.5 air pollution in winter. Measure would also include the Bosca. Source: The Mercury 13 May 2014.
A register prepared by the Ministry of Environment totaled 120 thousand the number of wood stoves today amongst households in Greater Santiago. In total, account for 7% of the park there are heaters in the capital.
Despite its small share, these stoves are responsible for 45% of annual air pollution in the city, a number that grows by 70% in winter, when critics pollution episodes recorded.
This background is one of the keys to manage the ministry, which these days refines the draft of a new decontamination plan for the capital. For that, the portfolio will declare Santiago as saturated fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) area in August.
This package aims to reduce by 40% in five years, emissions from this fine, the pollutant harmful to health, junker because it manages to penetrate the pulmonary alveoli and causes more severe respiratory disease in risk groups such as children, elderly and chronically ill, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Precisely, this is the most polluting wood stoves generate. According to government data, representing 45% of the annual PM2.5 formation. From its high incidence, the Ministry of Environment seeks to prohibit its use in the urban area of the metropolitan area and allow it only in rural areas, because of their vulnerability have few options for cheap heating.
Environment Minister Paul Badenier, and told "El Mercurio" in March, "If a zoom emission inventory, mainly in winter is done, we note with extreme concern the increase in attendant with fireplaces use house. The use of home fires in the metropolitan area is not viable in the medium term. We will generate strong measures to restrict the use of wood for home heating in urban areas. junker "
Patricio Pérez, researcher at the Department of Physics at the University of Santiago, junker the measure moving in the right direction, but should be extended. "There is a high probability that rural issues may have an impact on the conditions, and if not restricted in these places have days where contamination could be generated for this reason. Must see how to address them in rural areas. "
In his opinion, in the urban area "is highly concentrated in high areas, where there is a significant amount of stoves have dual camera. It would mean a setback for many people who have invested their homes and designed to take this kind of heat, but it is a necessary measure, "says the professor.
The Environmental Court held its first hearing of experts for consultation on its technical review before five claims made by the prosecution of the Environment; The neighbors Loam in Puchuncaví, Quintero; junker Cerro Navia, Florida, Central Station and Las Condes municipalities plus Puchuncaví, Guasco and Tocopilla, against the Ministry of Environment. These presentations aim to achieve the standard for coarse particulate matter (PM 10), a rule that was modified by the previous junker government through the Presidential Decree 20 of 2013 is restored.
Firewood is a renewable fuel is not imported and non-fossil and although they emit CO2 and other combustion, this is not considered renewable CO2 causing climate change because it is part of the terrestrial biosphere. The government plans to replace the wood heating by heating to natural gas, which is a big mistake, because natural gas is a fossil fuel burning effectively and cause climate change. What Chile has to do is subsidize the production of charcoal junker from wood on modern Chilean industrial plants and in Chile. junker This controlled industrial junker process emits very little particulate matter and also generate clean electricity generation because this type do not cause
