Macedonia, one of the most polluted air spots in Eastern Europe region

Macedonia is burdened as one of the countries with the most polluted air in the Eastern European region. The Economist” writes this prestigious magazine. But according to the voices of nongovernmental associations, where they have also released this result, according to analyses in collaboration with foreign organizations. The odds are that the state must separate from the budget a large sum, to protect the environment, writes Almakos.

For this, Arian Xhaferi, from the organisation “Ecoguerilla” says of Almakos, that the World Bank has already given total amounts, rather than cost Macedonia, to invest in environmental protection and protection of citizens from unclean air.

“As a start, air pollution costs Macedonia 253m euros, annually and this is World Bank data. Death is too high in pollution, that is, we are champions of Europe, as far as pollution mortality is concerned, but it is worrying that the economy is being severely damaged. Bio-productions, produced worldwide, do not exist in us because our villages have polluted soil and polluted air. And most of their products end up in waste before they start the market. We've had the chance to hear about a merchant carrying trees to Italy, but they refused him because of the content of metals in them, in these products, they have returned products from Italy that he considered bio. Of course, Macedonia's economy has a lot of losses, and especially the agrarian economy, when we have in mind the Pollog field, Tetovo, which has fed the entire former Yugoslavia with luxury products, today we buy apples from Greece, potatoes from Croatia or Albania”, Xhaferi told Almakos.

Asked if there is a way out of this situation, he answers that only if the state works
Legally, even those who cause pollution are prevented by failure to comply with standards in the
Their factories.

There's a way out if there's a rule of law and a rule of law to set if the pollutors owe you
They apply measures, ecological standards, if the state finds solutions, for these problems that cause these other problems. The fields or dairy products are damaged by the presence of lead metals caused by cars and should be seen by automotive standards, ecological measures must be applied. There are solutions for everything only needs will, as the mayors must apply for the” warehouses, Arian Xhaferi said.

According to the Economist”, the region of Eastern Europe, including Macedonia, has the highest number
of imported deaths.

The region has a record 241 deaths imported for a million people. Research indicates that one third of the deaths caused by pollution occur because of the transport of particles from one country to another by wind. The latest study finds that twice as many are caused by goods and services being produced in a poor region and exported for consumption to a often richer and higher standard. So rich countries are exporting air pollution and related deaths, importing goods, recognizes Almakos.

According to the results, Western Europe has the highest deaths caused by pollution in other countries, numbering 319 deaths, for a million people. The second region, which exports more deaths, is Australia at 311 to 1 million. Governments complain more about traffic and other local concerns that pollute air.
