An American in CJ for a few years, just across the border from El Paso, Texas

The above website has photos showing how large Juarez is, as well as how good/bad its air quality is. The pictures are taken from a south-facing mountain in downtown El Paso.

I suspect that the longer you live here, the shorter your life gets. The environment contains a lot of noxious fumes from deliberate tire-burning and gas escaping as it's pumped from tankers into holding tanks. Emissions from cars and trucks driving around town are already bad, and the vehicles idling in line at the U.S. border for an hour or more, just waiting to cross, don't help. I wonder if the maquilas pollute, too. Apparently they do in Tijuana, at least.

But it's always sunny here, so that's nice.
