Chile’s Smog Still Deadly

Chile has issued environmental alert for its capital because of air pollution. Santiago is bordered by the Andes mountains where smog from cars and factories is often bottled up.

City officials have now placed limits on industries and the circulation of cars.

4200 people die in Chile each year from causes directly linked to smog and other kinds of pollution.

It is the first environmental alert for Santiago this year.

      As a rule of thumb mask sizing is as follows;

      5′ Heavy Build – 5’6′ Average Build = Medium
      5’6″ Heavy Build – 6′ Average Build = Large
      6′ Heavy Build – 6’+ Average Build = X-Large

      Please supply the following measurements if you would like us to confirm your size.

      Neck Size:
      Using piece of cotton or string, measure the circumference around the neck. use a ruler to determine the length of string. This is the neck circumference. Easier still check your shirt size.
      Head size (AKA Hat Size):
      Using piece of cotton or string, measure the circumference around the head. use a ruler to determine the length of string. This is the head or hat size circumference.
      Eye to Chin:
      Take a piece of string and place it between the eyes on the top of the nose bridge, run the string over the tip of your nose and down to just under the chin. This is the eye to chin length.
