Much is said about air pollution in Medellin and Bogota. I found this link on the internet where you can get real time data. Note you can also access data world wide. http://aqicn.org/map/latinamerica/#@g/4.9249/-73.4326/6z

According to the linked site, at midnight, Bogotá was at 152, Medellín at 107.
The Medellín monitoring station is at a university site known as Nucléo del Volador. in what neighborhood is that?
Who has personal experience or data for the air pollution on the Golden Mile or Parque Lleras? I suspect more Expats are breathing in the air in those places than at Nucléo del Volador.

Good point about air quality in different areas. But with 75% of expats living outside of those areas you mentioned expats are probably getting some bad air. I also think the air on the Golden Mile is just as bad due to the extremely heavy traffic. However El Tesoro up higher is "probably" a little better.
Anyway just posted the link so forum members could do a little research if they are interested, it's certainly a topic of interest to many.

"Up higher."
I have heard that frequently.
"Up higher" in Medellín apparently means cooler air on hot days .. and less pollution, due to dissipation of the bad particles, on most any day.
Question:
What Expat-friendly neighborhoods in the Medellín/Aburrá Valley offer this more 'saludable' air at higher altitudes, yet are still within easy driving distance of Llleras and Golden Mile?
BTW; I'm not talking about a 45-60 minute drive to La Ceja, El Retiro or Rionegro.

Looks like the measuring site is at the worst place for air in Medellin or the lowest point with the most traffic. Travelled through there today at about 3:30 Poblado-- Laureles.
