Tetovo's air quality faces some of the Balkans' most severe urban challenges in the Tetovo-Polog basin at the foot of the Šar Mountain, with coal and biomass burning, vehicle traffic on the A2, and industrial operations generating elevated PM2.5 and heavy metals under the basin's severe winter temperature inversions. The Šar Planina massif and the surrounding Macedonian highlands create near-complete topographic enclosure, regularly producing hazardous winter PM2.5 concentrations.
