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?

Moderate. Already mentioned some air related issues above. I need to leave here every few months. It is usually hard to stay longer. - Mar 2019


Being on the ocean, the air quality is pretty good. Except for the harmattan season, when there's lots of dust. If you have any respiratory issues, take care. - Feb 2019


Moderate. During January and February the harmattan season makes people with sinus issues want to die. My husband suffered a lot there with the dust that comes from the desert. - Sep 2017


good. (During Harmattan there's a lot of dust, and sometimes people burn trash, but overall the air quality hasn't caused any problems for us.) - Aug 2015


Air quality is moderate. The mopeds create the not-so-good air quality - May 2014
