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?
Air quality is generally good. Localized burning of rubbish and fields can create temporary smoky conditions, and local construction projects can put dust in the air, but in general the quality of indoor air is most affected by mold, which can grow easily if not controlled by dehumidifiers, fans and air conditioning. - Aug 2025
Great air quality compared to most big cities in developing countries. There is almost no industry in the area. Sometimes burning of garbage or grass creates noxious smoke, but it doesn't generally last too long. - May 2019
Fine. Burning trash is common and can get overwhelming if there is no wind. - Jun 2016
