Skenderaj's air quality reflects the central Kosovo Drenica basin, with residential coal and biomass burning generating elevated PM2.5 under winter temperature inversions combined with vehicle traffic on the M2 road. The surrounding Drenica valley hills and the Kopaonik mountain ridgeline create topographic variation, while winter energy poverty-driven coal burning generates seasonal concentrations typical of Kosovo's broader winter air quality challenge throughout the heating season.
