Air pollution is considered a potential health hazard, especially for chronically ill people, including children. The air in Kosovo is mostly contaminated by thermal power plants (Kosovo A and B and Obilic.

This view of one of the thermal power plants in Obilic, viewed by Pristina neighbourhoods, well shows the air condition Kosovars absorb.
The air in Pristina is currently considered to be of average quality.
The head of the World Health Organisation's office in Kosovo, Ardita Tahirukaj, had indicated last year that air pollution is on a European level of concern.
Kosovo's “Air Plan estimates that each year causes 835 premature deaths, 310 new cases of chronic bronze, 600 hospital admissions and 11,600 emergency visits”, it has shown.
The most polluted environments in Kosovo, especially in terms of poor air quality, are estimated to be Pristina, the area of Obilic, Drenas and Mitrovica.
The KEK's <x0m power plants (Kosovo A and B in Obilik) are regarded as the main sources of air pollution, although in addition to emissions from thermal power, the irrational exploitation of household energy, burning coal and wood for individual heating, as well as transport and industry, as well as inadequate waste management, are contributing to air pollution”, Tahirukaj told REL.
The United Nations Organization report says that the fresh air that is the most basic need has already become a luxury in many parts of the world. It says that implementation of this clean air project will cost $300-600 billion annually.
