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?
Depends on the season. During Harmattan it can be very dusty with poorer air quality. At other times of the year people struggle with mold due to the humid and tropical climate. - Aug 2025
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
