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?

Terrible. It's been rated the worst in the world. There is an ever-present sticky brown dust in the air that will cover everything in your house after a while. It's nasty here. - May 2026


Depends on the season. Good to moderate during the rainy season, moderate to flat out bad during the dry season. - Aug 2020


Unhealthy. Lots of dust and smoke. Too may wood fires and neighbors who are constantly burning trash. Make sure to bring/buy an air filter for your bedroom. - Apr 2014
