Introduction • In 1997 Santiago Metropolitan Region was declared saturated with TSP, PM10, CO, O3 and latent for NO2. • An Atmospheric Decontamination and Prevention Program for the Metropolitan Region was initiated. • An intensive program to reduce the impact from mobile sources, specially public transportation system was started. • An important collaboration between CONAMA and the Universities was initiated oriented to increase the capacity building.
MAIN AIR QUALITY PROBLEMS • HIGH LEVELS OF • PM10 and PM2.5 • OZONE

Emissions • In large cities, vehicle emission are usually the most important • In small cities, there may be sources specific (and limited) to the area that are significant (smelters, house heating, biomass burning, etc.) • Fixed sources are easiest to control, moving sources are harder • Local emissions may mislead the interpretation of the results. • Monitoring site representativeness is needed
Monitoring site representativeness, PM-10 Data from a monitoring site should be representative of the community, independent of local sources.

Topography • May determine the concentration of pollutants in certain areas • Controls the local wind pattern • Limits the spatial extent of pollutants
Environmental grouping • Cluster analysis of the data among the stations is used to obtain groups with similar temporal behavior • These groups are similar for PM10 and ozone • The groups are independent of the season • Topography of the city is probably responsible for the configuration of the groups
