The director of Civil Defense, Daniel Russo, said that "the arrival of the cloud of smoke caused by the expected Amazon fires for" Tuesday or Wednesday "might be imperceptible in the city of Buenos Aires, and recalled that the city was immersed in a smog layer "that affects much more health".

He also reported that the provinces of Chaco, Formosa, Jujuy, Salta Corrientes and Misiones – where the smoke has already arrived – have not reported any health problems or other problems related to this outbreak.

"Meteorological services have taught us that a quantity of smoke will gradually penetrate between 1,000 and 1,500 km, because of the distance to the ground and the spread of particles as they become airborne. Away from home, cause major problems, "said Russo.

However, the official said that "the Ministry of Health of the Nation monitors with the secretariats of the provinces" to avoid any eventuality. "All major cities produce smog that we do not care about because we are used to it, but after what happens in Brazil, people are more alert," he said. declared.
