Rahovec's air quality faces significant challenges in the Metohija basin of western Kosovo, with residential coal and biomass burning generating elevated PM2.5 under winter temperature inversions combined with vehicle traffic and wine and agricultural industry operations. The surrounding Albanian Alps and Šar Mountain create topographic enclosure, while winter energy poverty-driven biomass burning generates seasonal concentrations typical of Kosovo's broader winter air quality challenge throughout the heating season.
