This online article argues on how the neighbors of the “Taukbashçe” neighborhood are complaining about the destruction of the environment, the fountain, and the noise of the tractors’ tanks. According to the citizens, the ones who are responsible for all this are the employers of the “Hortikultura” Company. They argue that every day, 15 to 20 tractor tanks fill their reservoirs with water from the fountain. These tanks are doing damage to the environment and are making a lot of noise. Seems like, the reason that the employers are taking this huge amount of water is not just for watering, but rather for other purposes.

This online article is about the project that is related to the environmental management in Kosovo. It focuses in the huge impact that Trepca (lead and zinc mining facility) causes to the environment. The investigation tried to determine the extent of the heavy metal pollution of the nearby river and found that the mining waste is a source of heavy metal pollution to the river. Also this project argues that the pollution contains health risk to the population. This project analyzes some tools which might help Kosovo’s environmental management of Trepca in the future.

This study points out the conditions of the Trepca mine and the environmental impact that it has on the life of the nearby citizens. It talks on how Kosovo should not advance economically while damaging the environment but should rather advance environmentally and by this create situations where it would benefit in both aspects, the economic aspect and the environmental one.

This article was written by three University of Pristina graduates (Fatos Rexhepi, Ardian Rugova and Tahir Arbneshi). The study, which was written in English, showed the various metal substances which were found in the Iber River. The elements found in the river are some of the prime constituents of water pollution generally. Concentrations of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc, were some of the heavy metals which were found in the Iber River.

This article was authored by three fellows from the Mechanical Engineering Faculty of the University of Pristina. The authors were as follows: Mr. Sc. Ferat Shala, Dr. Sc. Bedri Dragusha and Mr. Sc. Milaim Sadiku. The article was written in English, and it reports on the levels of pollution around the Trepca mining facility. Results were compared with WHO standards, which showed the high levels of pollution in the areas around the Trepca mining facility. Amongst other observations it was established that lead dispositions are four times higher than the acceptable norm set up by WHO.

Firdezi Bekteshi is the author of the article named “Challenges Facing Kosovo.” The journal article is written in English. Some of the main points discussed are the major environmental issues that Kosovo has been facing for a long time. Water waste and industrial pollution are considered as some heavy environmental problems that are present in our country. Poor management of waste is also a crucial problem; people show little interest in reducing the quantity of such dangerous waste or recycling them, which later lead to other major issues, such as affecting in human’s health.

This article says nothing more or less then everything about Kosovo’s environment. It talks about its framework, research projects on environmental issues. It also includes a SWOT analysis for Kosovo’s environment strength.

This article was written by Hjotberg and Wingqvist from University of Gothenburg and it argues about the environment issues that Kosovo is currently facing and it describes the reasons why do these issues happen. Therefore, considering that this article stresses one of the most important issues that Kosovo is dealing nowadays, it might be useful to find argument and argue about this topic.

This research paper discusses several environmental conditions and issues within the territory of Kosovo but from a different point of view – a point of view which would help Sweden to identify the ways in which it could help Kosovo in improving in the environmental conditions in Kosovo and by this also help Kosovo to get closer in meeting EU standards.

The purpose of this article is to explain how Kosovo’s air is polluted by the power plants built in the Municipality of Obiliq. They are built at a quite huge area where it can be used for agricultural purposes. In this article environmental issues are discused, and it uses two criteria to elaborate this problem. One is the air pollution created by burning lignite, and the second one is the mines where raw materials for power plants to work are extractedcom/carbon-dioxide.htm*^{Image Added}

Since the industrial revolution in 1850 began, human processes have been causing emissions of greenhouse gasses, such as CFC's and carbon dioxide. This has caused an environmental problem: the amounts of greenhouse gasses grew so extensively, that the earth's climate is changing because the temperatures are rising. This unnatural addition to the greenhouse effect is known as global warming. It is suspected that global warming may cause increases in storm activity, Melting of ice caps on the poles, which will cause flooding of the inhabited continents, and other environmental problems. This article talks about CO2 in general, all of its effects on the environment and the human health, as well as about it chemical origin.
