The atmosphere is a dynamic natural gas system that is essential to life on planet Earth. Air pollution is an environmental and social problem, as it leads to a number of harmful effects on human health, ecosystems, the environment and the climate. Air pollution constitutes the greatest environmental health risk in the city of Pristina. Air pollutants are emitted from anthropogenic and natural sources; they can be transported or formed over long distances and can affect large areas. Some air pollutants float in the environment for long periods and can accumulate in the environment and in the food chain, affecting humans and animals not only through air intake but through water and food intake too. Air pollution is a complex problem that poses multiple challenges in terms of management and mitigation. Effective action to reduce the impact of air pollution requires some good understanding of the sources that cause it, as well as knowledge of the daily status of air quality and its impact on humans and ecosystems. In this research paper, we carried out the monitoring of the air quality in terms of it being polluted with SO2 in the municipality of Pristina for the months March and June 2017. Air quality analyses have been taken from the SO2 measurements made in these two months, through monitoring stations. The elaboration of the results are always done for (μg/m3), in full compliance with the Directive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
