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.

When is air pollution at its worst in Rahovec?
Rahovec residents notice reduced air quality mainly when linden and poplar pollen peaks, and during spells of residential coal and biomass burning; the rest of the calendar year is generally more forgiving for air quality.
Are air quality levels in Rahovec based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
