Air quality is generally ok but it does get dusty and a lot of people suffer from allergues. - May 2021
It's not great but it's not bad in Luanda. Outside Luanda it's great. People who live in poorer communities definitely suffer from poor environmental conditions. - Mar 2017
Air is muggy and full of particulates. There's always dust in the air. Because of the humidity, the air feels very thick in the lungs. - Apr 2016
Moderate. - Mar 2015
I wouldn't say unhealthy in terms of true pollution but it can be difficult due to burning of trash and constant use of generators. - Aug 2014
Air quality is moderate. There are many cars and lots of exhaust from generators and vehicles. It can be very humid. - Jul 2013
Moderate. - Apr 2013
air quality is moderate, not so much industrial site, but lots of dust because the soil is sandy, not so many trees or greens - Aug 2011
Unhealthy. Lots of traffic, and during the dry season (~8 months out of the year) the air settles in over the city and never moves. - Aug 2011
