Gjilan's air quality faces significant challenges from residential coal and biomass burning during the heating season combined with vehicle traffic on the M25 in eastern Kosovo's Gjilan basin. Winter energy poverty-driven coal burning generates elevated PM2.5 under frequent temperature inversions, while the surrounding Karadak and Skopska Crna Gora mountain ridgelines create topographic enclosure that concentrates emissions during the heating season.
