Casablanca - 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?

Air quality is great as we're on the ocean. Some allergies in the Spring or when it's dusty but in general it's great here. - Mar 2026


It is generally good. Since it is on the water there is a regular wind blowing through it and pollution is not an issue most of the year. - Sep 2022


Occasional Sahara wind brings a lot of sand/dust in the air and can be a problem for people with breathing issues. Traffic pollution in the city can be troublesome, though the sea breeze tend to clear anything quickly. - Jun 2021


Moderate. Lots of pollution but the ocean breeze does help. - Feb 2016


Moderate to Unhealthy - car pollution, pollen, and dust can all be very high at times. Thankfully there is usually a nice breeze from the ocean to help clear it out. - Jul 2014


Moderate to occasionally unhealthy. Lots of pollution from cars, regular trash-burning, but then again there is that breeze ... - May 2014


Decent but not great. There are many allergy problems and burning trash is a frequent odor outside the city. Smoking is very prevalent and every bar/restaurant is filled with smokers. - Jun 2012


Fine - we are on the ocean and get the sea breeze. I have never had pollution concerns here. - Apr 2010
