Novi Pazar's air quality faces significant challenges in the Raška river valley in the Sandžak highland of southwestern Serbia, with residential coal and wood burning generating elevated PM2.5 under frequent winter temperature inversions combined with vehicle traffic on the M22. The surrounding Pešter plateau and the Rogozna and Golak mountain ridgelines create topographic enclosure that concentrates heating emissions during winter anticyclonic periods in this historically significant city.

When is air pollution at its worst in Novi Pazar?
Residents in Novi Pazar are quickest to notice reduced air quality when linden and hornbeam pollen peaks, or due to residential coal and wood burning; the clearest air tends to follow a change in wind direction or rainfall here.
Are air quality levels in Novi Pazar 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.
