Heavy Air Pollution in Sarajevo

Current

In Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, visibility has decreased due to the intense air pollution that has taken effect with the arrival of winter. According to air quality technology company IQAir, Sarajevo, where air pollution was measured at 262, ranked first among the cities with the highest air pollution in the world. Air pollution, which has become common in the winter months in Sarajevo, a city known for its historical and natural beauty in the Balkans, is caused by the exhaust gases of very old model cars, trucks and commercial vehicles in the city, as well as low-calorie fuels used for heating. Industrial cities such as Zenica, Kakanj and Tuzla also experience air pollution problems in the country. Sarajevo is followed by Calcutta in India, Belgrade in Serbia, Dhaka in Bangladesh and Lahore in Pakistan in terms of air pollution.
