Colombia air quality today The AQI right now, city by city

Right now the 48 cities Airleaf measures in Colombia average AQI 42 (good). The worst air is in Zipaquirá, at AQI 105, and the cleanest in Chía, at AQI 33. At ground stations alone, which measure rather than estimate, the average is AQI 56 across 10 cities. 2% of the 48 measured cities are over AQI 100 today, where the air stops being fine for sensitive groups, and 58% have Good air.

Zipaquirá, at AQI 105 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups) on the US EPA index. Sensitive groups should limit long or intense outdoor activity.

Chía, at AQI 33 (Good). Both lists rank current readings, from ground stations wherever Colombia has at least three cities with one.

It depends on the city. 28 cities are Good, 19 cities are Moderate, 1 city is Unhealthy for sensitive groups. At the national average of AQI 42: Air quality is satisfactory for everyone.

About 5.8 million ha from 2001 to 2025, 7% of the forest it had in 2000, from the University of Maryland's yearly satellite maps of forest loss. 5.2 million ha of it was cleared for good, for farms, mines or towns.

Piedecuesta, with 52.5% tree cover within 2 km of its center, measured from Sentinel-2 satellite images.

Each city's reading is the US EPA air quality index, from ground monitoring stations where one has reported recently nearby, and from the CAMS atmospheric model elsewhere; each city's report says which. Tree cover is measured over the same 2 km radius in every city, so the cities compare like for like.
