Abstract Climate change is one of the problems facing society today because of its impacts on the health of living beings. That is why the authorities need tools that provide them with the information necessary to make decisions that will reduce the impact of such change. This paper proposes a strategy to group the air quality data of the metropolitan area of the City of Bogotá from 2014 to 2018, in order to recognize the measurement patterns in the environmental contaminants that cause pre-contingencies and environmental contingencies in the area of the City of Bogotá.
