POLLUTANT PARTICLES IN AIR ON THE TERRITORY OF KOSOVSKA MITROVICA

Abstract

Climate change is the most common change that has been discussed in the wider scientific community over the last decade. The impact of pollutant particles on all areas of the environment is so great that environmental protection is an extremely important global issue. Air is one of the areas of the environment without which there is no life on the planet. Clean air is the basis for the life of humans, animals, and plants on earth. The composition of gases in the atmosphere plays a very important role in influencing the climate. The change in the composition of clean air due to the presence of pollutant particles has a negative effect on the composition of the atmosphere, which has significant consequences, including damage to the Earth's ozone layer and climate change. Air pollution has been linked to various negative effects on human health, including heart attacks, asthma attacks, bronchitis, and other respiratory symptoms. Therefore, it is very important to monitor air quality and know its composition. In this paper, we will show what pollutants are present in the air, focusing on the Kosovska Mitrovica region, how they affect, and how to reduce them with the aim of a healthier environment.
