AQI “metere” is between 51 and 100. The quality of air is acceptable, however, for some pollutants may have the average health distress for very few people. For example, people who are extremely sensitive to ozone may experience difficulties (symptoms) in respiratory channels.
The air quality monitor located at the Embassy measures particles in the air in Pristina every hour, including dust, mud, soot, smoke and liquid dots.
Such particles may be the result of emissions of gases from vehicles and thermal plants, from burning coal or wood, or live events like fires on top and may remain suspended in the air for long periods of time.
The particles of this size, about 1/30 of the average diameter of human hair, pose the greatest health risk. Scientific studies have linked long - term pollution from particles, especially fine particles, to serious health problems, such as heart and lung disease.
