Acta de Sesión Ordinaria Consejo Consultivo Regional del Medio Ambiente Región de Atacama - SESIÓN N° 07/2025

Summary

Chile's Atacama region is addressing the outdated secondary air quality standard for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), which hasn't been revised in 15 years, to better protect local ecosystems. The Ministry of Environment has developed a draft proposal to update these regulations, currently undergoing public consultation until December 4th. Initial analysis suggests the proposed new limits are already being met by existing monitoring stations, indicating no immediate additional economic or social costs/benefits from the modification.
