From Western Europe I moved to Mexico City. I work and live here now, and this city suffers intense amounts of pollution almost every day. When you take an Uber somewhere they all drive with their windows open (airco's are expensive to run) and you get the full blast of diesel trucks and older cars' fumes.
I came here for a girl. I'm leaving because of pollution. The city is amazing in its own right, but I feel like I'm breathing lung cancer.
- zachkatz 7y agoDamn, I’m about to go to Mexico City—was planning to stay for a few months, but I hate dirty air. Is it like that all over the city, or just certain parts?
- stevenwoo 7y agoI stayed for a week for work ( lot of traffic that seemed typical after walking around, San Miguel Chapultepec, Mexico City, Federal District) in mornings when I awoke and blew my nose into paper tissue it was dark with the dirt? filtered by I guess my nose/respiratory system. This has never happened to me in Northern California or living near downtown Houston/Austin, Texas.
- fyfy18 7y agoThat happens to me when I was living in London too.
- frandroid 7y agoMexico City sits in a former volcano, so the air pollution of one of the world's largest metropolitan areas is trapped in there.
- lobo_tuerto 7y agoIt's a valley, not a volcano.
- josu 7y agoIt's definitely better/worse in some areas. Condesa is probably your best option.

- zachkatz 7y agoCool, that’s where I’ll be staying. That’s reassuring.
