Review of Las Cruces, New Mexico

How bad is the air pollution?
Star Rating - 2/3/2007
It seems that the air is very polluted for the population. Does the pollution come from El Paso or is the air as polluted as this site indicates? Is the pollution worse in the winter do to temperature inversion? Thanks for your feedback on this.

Las Cruces is a high desert so you get some dust with strong winds for the most part it has some of the clearest night skies because of it's elevation. It's higher than El Paso so we don't get there pollution. This place is GREAT and I lived in California and hot muggy chainsaw massacre Texas sorry no love for TX.
