In Valle de Aburrá, authorities have lifted the air quality alert level initially set due to high PM2.5 concentrations. Despite the lift, efforts to manage the pollution episode continue. An environmental “pico y placa” was implemented earlier this month for cargo transport and dump trucks, based on technical data from the SIATA system indicating air quality reaching orange index levels. Currently, two air quality stations remain at orange levels, signaling potential health risks for sensitive groups.
Air Quality Alert Level Lifted in Valle de Aburrá Amid Ongoing Pollution Management Efforts
Since 2018, I have lived in Medellín. My role as a digital nomad over the past decade initially brought me to the city, and I quickly became fond of it during a three-month stay. Beyond the pleasant climate, I appreciate Medellín's green environment and the nearby charming villages with unique microclimates. My interests include travel, exploring diverse cuisines, and studying history. I hope this website will enable me to share my experiences and offer insights to those curious about Medellín and Colombia.
