| Summary: | Cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH)
experience high ambient concentrations of health-damaging
fine particulate air pollution in Europe. This report is one
in a series of three reports on air quality management in
BiH, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. This report examines the
nature and magnitude of ambient air pollution (AAP) in BiH.
It provides estimates of the health burden, and economic
cost associated with the health impacts, of AAP, that is,
fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in BiH. It also provides an
analysis of the impacts of various sources of PM2.5
emissions on ambient air quality in BiH at a country level.
The institutional and policy framework for air quality
management (AQM) in the country is examined, including
contributions of other development institutions in
supporting BiH's efforts to address air pollution.
Furthermore, this report presents experiences of selected
countries that have applied different policy, investment,
and technical interventions for air pollution, prevention,
reduction, and abatement. Finally, it provides
recommendations for reducing air pollution in BiH. Cities in
