    Hi there,

    How is everyone?

    I heard that BA is very polluted. Are there areas outside of BA that aren't?

    Also how easy is it to get organic produce & products, & do the farms use a lot of chemicals on their produce?

    Thanks


    Michelle

    Thanks for that.

    I'm still trying to get information on whether any cities in Argentina have little to no pollution, as the info I've gotten on other forums confirm that BA is just too polluted. I'm looking to get out of this polluted city, not move to another city with a lot of pollution.

    I don't know about pollution in Buenos Aires, but according to the EasyExpat guide for Buenos Aires, the climate is subtropical and quite humid. If those sort of conditions affect your health, that's something to consider. The link to the guide is below, where you can also find links to official sites for the city and for Argentina. Sorry I don't have more info but I hope this helps a bit. http://www.easyexpat.com/en/buenos-aires/overview/geography.htm

    I already know it's polluted & yes, all pollution affects most people whether they realize it or not. The human body isn't meant to breath in dangerous chemicals into the body since the body consists of all nature pureness (or at least it was when it was born).

    I was looking for non polluted cities.

    Thanks anyway

    I guess I misunderstood your post. Sorry about that. As for nonpolluted cities, I would consider smaller cities rather than huge metropolitan areas. Anywhere you have intense density of people, buildings, commerce and industry, you will have some measure of pollution. Good luck.
