VERY, VERY UNHEALTHY!!!!!! And not too many people are talking about it. With the high altitude, the air being so thin, and so much smog, you are constantly struggling to get some air into your lungs. - Nov 2008


Unhealthy - especially from bus/truck exhaust. - Nov 2008


Moderate, like any big city. I'm a New Yorker so it's really all relative :) - May 2008


Moderate. Bogota is at high altitude, so the air is much thinner. - Apr 2008
