Let’s be real here: one of the largest cities in the world is bound to have more pollution than some high-elevation mountain town, so it should be no surprise that the air quality in Los Angeles is, well, not the best. Unfortunately, pollutant and smog levels are always high in the city, and especially during wildfire season, the air quality may be even worse with smoke from the greater area. We recommend wearing a face mask if you’re easily affected by poor air quality.
