This research document was published by three student of University of Prishtina named “Air pollution in the area around the Mining Complex Trepça in Kosovo.” Furthermore, they did a lot of research and came up with a very specific presentation of the problem of Trepca. They say that Kosovo is threatened by the toxic metals especially Mitrovica which has a high level of pollution with the dust particles where the maximum value reaches 5560.8 mg/m2/day that is 20 times more than WHO recommends. With all the details that they found the authors came to conclusion that these toxic metals from Trepca represent immediate health risks to the adjacent residential areas through uncontrolled emissions of airborne dust. And they suggest that this problem has to be treated as a long-term one, measuring the airborne dust concentration in the air as well as the percentage of the toxic's in air. This way the air quality will be better and the dust percentage will be lower. The criterion of this problem is the health condition of the citizens as well as the cost of solving this problem. Nonetheless, UNDP project in another article (source) said that they already informed the government for this problem and they have a plan how to solve it. Moreover, they will find out the levels of the pollution of mining in, will create underground waters, superficial waters such as streams and rivers etc.

Currently, Kosova A and B power plants, located in Obiliq, are enormous air polluters, especially considering the amount of dust that is emitted from these power plants. Hence, the level of dust emission from the power plant Kosova A is 40 times higher than the maximum permitted concentration by the EU regulation whereas the emission from Kosovo B is 10 times higher.
