Abstract

The main characteristics in the distribution of the territory are due to economic, social, cultural, sanitary and health factors and the availability of natural resources; throughout the research carried out on environmental goods in the territory, it has been identified that such distribution is not carried out in an equitable manner, which contradicts the principle of environmental justice. Particularly, in terms of air quality, being an intangible good, the level of perception and environmental management processes to have access to better quality air is difficult, behavior that is reflected in the quality of life of people, specifically in terms of public health. this work develops an index of environmental justice associated with air quality that allows identifying equity or inequity in the access and quality of the resource by the population, taking as a basis for this study, the composition of the air in the city of Bogotá (Colombia).
