Port Au Prince - Post Report Question and Answers

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

It was horrible breathing conditions through Cite Soleil, it is extremely difficult when temperatures are so high and no clean drinking water for the majority of the people living there. - Jan 2010


Moderate, the winds keep the air mostly clear. - May 2009


Port au Prince is rated as having the highest level of fecal matter in the air in the world. It was also rated the fourth dirtiest place in the world in 2008. - Feb 2009


Good. - Dec 2008


I guess somewhere between unheathly and very unhealthy. Burnging garbage and dust cause problems, including eye irritations. People seem to get sick here a lot but don't know if that's pollution related or not. - Feb 2008
