【 摘 要 】

Cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH)experience high ambient concentrations of health-damagingfine particulate air pollution in Europe. This report is onein a series of three reports on air quality management inBiH, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. This report examines thenature and magnitude of ambient air pollution (AAP) in BiH.It provides estimates of the health burden, and economiccost associated with the health impacts, of AAP, that is,fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in BiH. It also provides ananalysis of the impacts of various sources of PM2.5emissions on ambient air quality in BiH at a country level.The institutional and policy framework for air qualitymanagement (AQM) in the country is examined, includingcontributions of other development institutions insupporting BiH's efforts to address air pollution.Furthermore, this report presents experiences of selectedcountries that have applied different policy, investment,and technical interventions for air pollution, prevention,reduction, and abatement. Finally, it providesrecommendations for reducing air pollution in BiH.
