Rome - 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?

Moderate. Lots of seasonal allergies. Our A/C units collect so much dust. - Aug 2024


No air issues, just a bunch of trash on the streets. Rome can be a dirty city in many places. - Sep 2022


Pretty good, although due to amount of cars and scooters, fumes can get bad especially in summer. - Oct 2014


Moderate to poor. If you suffer from allergies, be prepared to self-medicate often! - May 2013


I would rate air quality as moderate. It varies widely based on weather and traffic...some days are just spectacular in either direction. Spring allergies are potent here. - Apr 2012


Unhealthy. There are lots of pollens in the air, dust, and garbage. The Health Unit dispenses Zyrtek and Sudafed for whatever ailment you have. - Aug 2010
