Minister Dias Toffoli
Since the weekend, Brasília, where Toffoli is hospitalized, has been hit by fires in the National Park, a protected forest area north of the city.
According to people close to the minister, the air near his house was filled with soot from the fire and he felt uncomfortable.
This Tuesday, Brasília was once again made aware of the impact of fires on the air.
For the second day in a row, schools and colleges have canceled classes. Doctors have advised people not to exercise to avoid exposure to air pollution.
The Federal Police have opened an investigation into the cause of the fire. As of Monday (16) afternoon, the area affected reached 2 thousand hectares, according to the Chico Mendes Biodiversity Conservation Institute (ICMBio).
