The second source is an article published by Kreshnik Bajrtaktari in KIJAC – Kosovo Institute of Journalism and Communication named “Environmental Deterioration Risks Kosovo’s Future”. This article writes about the idea of producing the Kosova C energy plant. They argue that this is not a good idea. First, because we already have a lot of dust or air pollution from Kosova A and B we do not need another plant to create more dust. Second, the amount of money that will be invested in this plant is very high. The two energetic plants are causing not only air pollution but also deceases like the simple act of breathing, an increase in cases of bronchial asthma, emphysema and lung cancer cases. Unfortunately, there are not enough data that can prove that Obiliq is causing most of the lung cancers, so there is no one who will try to invest in this. UNMIK also said that it would be very difficult to build a new energetic plant around Obiliq because it is near Prishtina, in which almost half of the population lives and most of them drive every day through that road, so the air is being polluted even more. The criterion of this problem is definitely health of the citizens of Kosovo. Also, it is the cost that Kosovo government will have if they decide to find a solution of this problemthrough that road, so the air is being polluted even more. The criterion of this problem is definitely health of the citizens of Kosovo. Also, it is the cost that Kosovo government will have if they decide to find a solution of this problem.

- The authors argue that the drinking water quality in Mitrovica rion is not satisfying. One of the contributors toward this is the pollution from the industry as well as the waste water. Indeed, this pollution includes the river of Ibri and Sitnica. This report presents the state of surface waters in the two main rivers of Mitrovica, and as such helps one determine the level of drinkable water in Mitrovica region.   

- This Article/Research Paper relates to Mitrovica and its water polution problems. Mitrovica is based in the North of Kosovo and owns the main part of natural resources. According to the article, Mitrovica is not only the most polluted city in Kosovo, but in Europe. The article discusses the water polution caused by exploiting those natural resources, which basically polluts the 3 main rivers that cross the city and from which the city gets the main water supply. It contains a lot of tables to make the contamination of the drinking water clear. The article is originally written in English.

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.

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.

An article ?published by the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) giving information about effects of depleted uranium on Balkans in general. It sets the uranium as the main cause of high cancer rate in Balkan countries affecting as well the people that came to work and help the after war countries, the troops present in Balkans. Italy is the latest European country calling on NATO to investigate a possible link between its use of depleted uranium weapons in the Balkans and the emergence of leukaemia-like illnesses amongst some soldiers who served there.
