Nassau - 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?

Beautiful sea breezes most of the time. The dump burns and toxins are in the air for months though it isn't as bad as China. - Nov 2015


The air quality is great. There are mold/mildew issues in some of the homes, but it is sporadic. - Jun 2015


Mostly good. Not much industry and the steady sea breeze blows away what few problems there are. However, there have been some fire problems at the dump which has caused a nearby school to close for a few days and residents in that area are protesting. - May 2015


The air quality is good. - Jan 2011


Mostly good because of the ocean breezes and lack of smog producing industries. Pretty toxic when the garbage tip is set on fire or you're trapped in gridlock traffic. Most people don't maintain their cars very well so the traffic fumes can be pretty bad. - Mar 2010
