Sarajevo valley smog
Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina · 43.85°, 18.38° · Air pollution
Coal and wood heating under a winter inversion give this mountain-valley capital some of Europe's dirtiest air.
Sarajevo sits in a narrow valley where cold winter air settles and traps smoke from coal and wood stoves, old diesel cars and nearby industry. On the worst days it has ranked as the most polluted city in the world. The Western Balkans more broadly rely on ageing coal power plants whose emissions far exceed EU limits.
