Pollution index (Good, Moderate, Unhealthy, or Very Unhealthy)?
Moderate to Unhealthy. Dust has led to many sinus infections/allergies. Lots of mild illnesses get passed around. - Jun 2009
Moderate, except during sandstorms which are rare (you can count them on your fingers). - Dec 2008
Most of my friends take Claritin daily. I'm not quite sure if the sand storms have anything to do with it. I would not come here if I had asthma. Health careis so-so. Right of way for an ambulance is not the norm here! - Aug 2008
