Since the beginning of this year, social networks and media exploded with information on the air pollution in Serbia, a long-lasting problem which the state had been ignoring, with the Strategy for the protection of air being four years late, N1 reported.
Besides the belated solution, Serbia does not invest in the instruments for quality data on the pollution.
Aleksandar Macura from the RES Foundation told N1 that only one-fifth of the instruments measuring the air pollution functioned correctly.
The Law on Air protection obliged Serbia’s Government in 2013 to complete the Strategy by the end of 2014.
“We are in 2019, and still don’t have a Strategy,” RES Foundation’s Jasminka Oliveric Jang said.
She added that the instruments used for measurement dated from 1950, adding that the more modern ones would immediately contribute to the air quality improvement.
Contrary to a common belief that cars were the main polluters, much worse came from the so-called individual heaters.
About 30 percent of Serbia’s households have central heating while others use wood and coal in old furnaces, massively polluting the air.
