Smoke from the south reaching the province of Buenos Aires. Although the cloudiness prevents a clear view of the smoke that invades the area, meteorologists observed the air pollution with satellite images and warn that it is heading north. This smoke may be due to the fires in Patagonia and other minor fires in surrounding grasslands such as in Ezeiza.

Air Quality indicates at this time that there are fine particles, which could be related to smoke, that affect air quality. On the moderate “60” scale, although it is acceptable for the general population, it can cause discomfort in people with sensitive respiratory systems.
Denialist policies for the benefit of a few lead to a deepening of the climate crisis, forest fires and speculation, the loss of ecosystems and the homes of hundreds of families, and now the smoke that also reaches large cities.
We should not naturalize it. Every fire is political and the State is responsible.
