Port Of Spain - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the air quality like at post (good/moderate/bad)? Are there seasonal air quality issues? Does the air quality have an impact on health?

Very good...but some people will burn items like garbage near your home that can be a nuisance. But for the most part, very good air. - Aug 2021


Good. Some bush fires and Sahara dust. - Mar 2019


Although Trinidad is more industrialized than most people expect, the air quality is fine overall. - Apr 2017


The air quality is good. We have both wet and dry seasons. In the dry season there is some smoke from the fires. Overall the biggest issue with air would be the air conditioners that are common here. They create a lot of dust and need to be cleaned often. - Aug 2016


OK, no issues - May 2016


Good. During the dry season there are brush fires. Often the city landfill catches on fire and engulfs the metropolitan area in smoke. - Jun 2015


good - May 2015


It's ok, sometimes, the smoke from the fires at the city dumps keeps everyone indoors. Hot and humid. If that's a problem for you, don't come here. - Aug 2014


Overall pretty good except for the occasional trash burning party in Sea Lots. - Dec 2013
