Podujevë's air quality faces significant challenges from residential coal and biomass burning during the heating season combined with vehicle traffic on the M25 road in the Kosovo Peja-Pristina corridor. The surrounding Kosovo Polje basin's partial topographic enclosure concentrates winter heating emissions under frequent inversions, while summer conditions are considerably better with the Kosovo highland breezes providing more effective natural ventilation throughout the warmer months.
