Kiev - Post Report Question and Answers

Pollution index (Good, Moderate, Unhealthy, or Very Unhealthy)?

Moderate. - Aug 2009


Moderate-Unhealthy: On the roads the pollution is terrible from all of the big diesel trucks. During the burning season (slash and burn agriculture here) it gets pretty nasty depending on where you are. - Apr 2008


Moderate - it's a large city in a post Soviet country with all the drawbacks that come with it. My wife who has asthma has not had any problems here. - Apr 2008


Moderate to unhealthy. Most days I don't really notice the pollution but occasionally it really hits you. You don't realize how much you are breathing in until you see how filthy and coated in black sludge the cars are. - Feb 2008
