Soil contamination in the metro Santiago

[mariaobetsanov]

In the past eight months I have been exposed to the soil being drug up in the area of La Carrrera and Duarte and la Independencia and San Louis. The Last on the corner of Duarte and San Louis my heart stop. This level of contaminant in the soil are non-acceptable for any place where tourist and Returning Dominican will be exposed. Says Dr. Santiago Garcia Heart Specialist at HOLMS hospital. The condition is Called Anaphylactic Shock and may cause death instantly.
I have lived in the State of California Since 1972 until 2004 and had never had an atack before in my whole life. Be worn this city is not for the weak, or the sensitive to allergens.

Is there a metro in Santiago?

Can you point me to any study to confirm what you and/or the doctor are claiming? Or is this just hearsay? Thanks!

Maria has been complaining about this for over a year now.
I'm hoping that DR1 is not her best resource for getting the problem resolved, assuming that it is factual.

Maria i'm pretty sure that the Santiago Metropolitan area is not more contaminated than L.A. or any major city here in the U.S.

IT MAY CAUSE DEATH INSTANTLY are you for real? i need to call my family to see if they still alive, especially my little sister that has asthmas and have to walk 3 time a week to go to JFK institute.

You are clearly exaggerating!!!!!!!

Metropolitan area or metro is an English short cut in the English speaking world. as in the city. you might be right this area over- contaminated open sewer especially when its raining like today. All test where done to confirm at the Hospital Metropolitano or homs

Maria, I'm talking about actual testing on the soil to confirm what you're saying. I want the name of the contaminants and the concentrations found. Thanks!
