Citizens concerned about polluted air in Pristina

Kosovo's National Institute of Public Health has announced that in the winter season, the city of Pristina is sinking into smog, featuring combined pollution of gas and aerosol, which is widely seen. The short-term effects of partisans ' aerondotes lead us to an increase in the number of bronkial asthma patients, chronic bronzes, chronic lung obtrusive diseases, increased hospital admissions from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, cancer, life cuts, and increased mortality rates

Major concerns have citizens of this municipality, according to which polluted air is making breathing difficult, increasing the number of patients in clinical centres and forcing citizens to stay locked up in their homes.

Ilaz Selmani tells Kosovo Pristina that the reason for air pollution is the lack of security of entry into the capital. According to him, residents from all villages are coming to Pristina, and as a result, the number of cars is increasing and communications is becoming even more intense. And for this phenomenon, Selmani sees Kosovo government.

“Mass first, after a certainty of the city's entry, that now the embassy Pristina is this, that they have come from all villages in the city, and communication is so dense, so polluted, that even the organs deliberately left to defile Pristina, I'm thinking our government is not going to any one of them, so that the most polluted city that Pristina is even speaking”, Selman said.

Shuqri Nici accuses Pristina municipality chairman Shpend Ahmeti of this alarming condition of polluted air in the capital. According to him, cars are the biggest threat that are destroying air and affecting the disease of many citizens.

And it's because there's a lot of cars that's gotta be behind them, especially cars that are extremely polluted, which is now fun of moving on because there's not enough cars, but the mayor of the municipality needs a little bit, that he promised I didn't do 6 to 7 years of curing, that he didn't work, that he didn't invest in the capital of young people, that's going to put me where he planted something... that's going to be able to get sick with <x1behane> ”, that's, that's what's going on, the bronni, that's going on, that's a lot, that's going to be a lot of nil.

The same concern lies with citizen Gjergj Lekaj, who says there is a long time since the air in Pristina has been disturbed, and according to him, all of this comes from a large number of cars and fuels. According to Lekaj, the biggest blame for polluted air is society itself that doesn't do anything, but always stays waiting.

And I think we have a lot of KEK for us, and it's been a long time since we've started to crash the air, and I think that now because we don't have the industry except for KEK, the main components are the automobiles, of course the fuel used in the city, the accumulate in the centre, so it's acumulu and more in cities than in rural areas. The guilty is generally the society that doesn't take a rule but expects something from the sky to come... dangerous is obviously very much showing the situation in university clinics, in other hospitals, and sees the number of diseases gone up every day, so it's dangerous every day, and even more dangerous is because there's nothing taken to change the situation”, Lekay said.

Bajram Feyzullahu tells of Kosova Prees that he has not left his apartment for three days, all because of the polluted air and then the mist. Fyzulah suggests that he is suffering from asthma, and his condition is making it even harder for him to live with contaminated air.

I'm gonna have to light something up with the heat of winter... the risk is enough to keep it safe because I haven't dared to walk out in three days of fog and I'm a little bit of a risk and I'm gonna have to save myself, what I have to do, what comes to God's good, this people that they don't want, that you just want to, they're just saying, "I'm angry with these guys and these guys, yes, and they're not exactly what they're doing," Fyshuall say.

National Institute experts warn and alarm that unless emergency measures are taken, there will be negative effects on health damage and increased mortality on all causes, and especially cardiovascular and respiratory diseases will be disturbing.
