Zlatiborski faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 265 thousand across 10 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 16.5µg/m³. That's 3.3 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 274 cigarettes in a year.

That's 297K years of life stolen from 265 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
