Kumanovo's air quality reflects the Kumanovo plain at the foot of the Skopska Crna Gora mountains in North Macedonia, with vehicle traffic on the A2 motorway and surrounding manufacturing and agricultural operations contributing local sources. Winter residential coal and wood burning generates elevated PM2.5, while the surrounding mountain ridgelines create partial topographic enclosure that concentrates heating and vehicle emissions under winter inversions throughout the heating season.
