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?
Technically the air quality ratings are poor and don't meet EU standards, but it's fine. Like any large US city. People comment they get allergies for the first time living here. - Jun 2023
It's completely fine. - Mar 2019
The air quality is generally fine, but better outside the city. - Jun 2018
Air quality is like that of any other metropolitan city. I'd say moderate. Due to so many trees in the parks, and surrounding forests, on most days the pollution doesn't usually hang in the sky like it does in other places like Chengdu China. I have never been afraid to gulp in large amounts of air whilst standing at a cross walk. - Feb 2014
Moderate. - Jan 2013
Good. No complaints. - Aug 2012
Unhealthy - May 2011
Moderate-to-poor air quality. Dust in summer. Many people develop allergies. Respiratory problems are common but usually not severe. - Jul 2010
