However, the larger issue may lie in the inequities created by the distribution of the air pollution. Methods To assess the inequities created by the spatial differences in air pollution, the author analyzed fine particle pollution levels for 2008-2011 at monitoring stations throughout the region. The author also compared air quality data with socioeconomic data. Results The areas of the Santiago metropolitan region with the worst air quality have lower socioeconomic levels. Pollution in these areas reaches levels higher than the current Chilean 24 hour standard for fine particles. These areas also have longer time periods of unhealthy air and 21 % more days with unhealthy levels of air pollution. Discussion The differences in exposure to pollution create an inequality and environmental injustice among the socioeconomic groups in the metropolitan region. Chilean policymakers have the regulatory tools needed to improve environmental justice. However, they need to improve the implementation of these tools in order to achieve that goal: Chilean policy makers should consider local sources of air pollution in the most polluted municipalities; Government decision makers should make extra efforts to listen to the community and improve access to environmental information; Environmental justice advocates should involve stakeholders from the social justice movement and other related areas; Policy makers should track progress towards environmental justice by evaluating differences in health outcomes related to differential exposure to air pollution in different parts of the Santiago metropolitan area.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Objetivo La región metropolitana en Santiago de Chile tiene un problema con la calidad del aire, en medio de inequidades creadas por la distribución de la contaminación del aire. Métodos Evaluar las inequidades creadas por las diferencias espaciales en los niveles de contaminación en la región metropolitana y comparar los datos de la calidad del aire con datos socioeconómicos. Resultados Las áreas de la región metropolitana de Santiago con la peor calidad del aire tienen los niveles socioeconómicos más bajos. La contaminación en estas áreas llega a niveles mayores que la norma Chilena para material particulado fino en 24 horas. También tienen periodos con aire contaminado más largos y tienen 21 % más días con niveles de contaminación que afectan la salud humana. Discusión Las diferencias en la exposición a la contaminación crean inequidad e injusticia medioambiental entre los grupos socioeconómicos en la región metropolitana. Las autoridades responsables tienen herramientas regulatorias cuya implementación debe mejorarse para lograr la justicia medioambiental: Las autoridades responsables deben examinar las fuentes locales en las municipalidades más contaminadas; El gobierno debe tomar medidas extras para escuchar a la comunidad y mejorar el acceso a la información medioambiental; Los defensores de la justicia medioambiental deben involucrar grupos ciudadanos; Las autoridades responsables deben marcar el progreso a la justicia medioambiental con una evaluación de las diferencias de salud relacionadas con las diferencias de exposición a la contaminación del aire.]]></p></abstract>
