Pollution index (Good, Moderate, Unhealthy, or Very Unhealthy)?
Unhealthy. The air doesn't feel that dirty, but there is lead in it. - Oct 2009
Very unhealthy. Burning trash is a way of life here. The congested city only adds its vehicular exhaust to the air. In the monsoon season, the air is less polluted. However, without the rain to cleanse the air, so to speak, it gets very, very dirty. - Aug 2009
Very unhealthy. Air pollution in the city is horrible and worse in the winter when everyone is burning garbage. Noise pollution is also a huge annoyance. - Mar 2009

This depends on the time of year. In the winter, when people burn a lot of trash, it is poor. In summer it is all right but it is never good. - Feb 2008
