Cuba
experienced an increase in air pollutants from November 2008 to April 2010,
according to data collected by Cuba's national surveillance network, state
newspaper Granma reports. Increased levels of sulfate and nitrate
emissions from local industries in Cuba caused the air quality to deteriorate,
leading to higher incidences of acid rain in the eastern provinces of Holguín,
Camagüey and Santiago de Cuba. According to the article, the Center for
Pollution and Atmospheric Chemistry (CECONT) in Cuba is in the process of
determining the maximum amount of emissions for sectors that are most
responsible for the deterioration in air quality in an effort to decrease air
pollution.
