Pejë's air quality faces significant challenges from residential coal and biomass burning during the heating season and vehicle traffic on the M9, combined with the surrounding Kosovo alpine basin's topographic enclosure. The Bistrica and Lumbardhi river valleys provide limited ventilation, while winter energy poverty-driven coal burning generates some of the Balkans' highest seasonal PM2.5 concentrations in this western Kosovo city.
