A great problem in Santiago is the pollution which is produced mainly by diesel buses, in 1990 air pollution fell by around one-third, but the situation has been improving since 2000 and in 2005 a lengthy replacement of the diesel bus system began.
Another worry by Santiago’s citizens is the industrial contamination of “Mapocho” River. So, the central government passed a law that forces industry and local governments to process all their wastewater.
