Air at the AQMS Brezovica station
Štrpce, Kosovo
Network: Kosova Environmental Protection Agency ( KEPA) · Station code: XK0007A
In 2024
at least
8 days
with an 8-hour average of ozone (O₃) above the target value of 120 µg/m³.
Readings are missing for part of the period, so the real number may be higher.
at least
2 days
with a daily average of particulate matter PM10 above the EU limit of 50 µg/m³.
Readings are missing for part of the period, so the real number may be higher.
Worst day: August 17, 2024, O₃ 143 µg/m³ as a daily average, 1.2 times the limit.
Daily average for 100 of 366 days · Yardstick: EU limits (Directive 2008/50/EC)
No data has arrived from this station since November 22, 2024 at 06:00
No reading for 684 days.
We take the readings from the European Environment Agency (EEA), and no new values for this station are coming from there. The cause may lie with the station itself or with the data transmission.
Last reading: November 22, 2024 at 06:00
Measured then: O₃ 71.2 µg/m³, PM10 0.8 µg/m³, PM2.5 0.4 µg/m³, SO₂ 3 µg/m³
Nearest station measuring now: Tetovo, None, North Macedonia, about 22 km away.
That reading is from another place. Your air may be better or worse.

≥ means at least: more than a tenth of the days or hours are missing, so the real number may be higher.
² Too few readings to compare with the number allowed: the figure covers only what was measured.
Unverified hourly values of particulate matter from 975 µg/m³ up, and single spikes from 500 µg/m³ up between low values, count as missing. In the verified data for BiH from 2023 to 2025 no hour was above 600 µg/m³.
■ and a figure in red: more than is allowed for the whole year.
Compared with the new EU rules and the WHO recommendation
This is not the yardstick for the verdict above, only a comparison. From 2030 the EU tightens its limits (Directive (EU) 2024/2881), and since 2021 the World Health Organization has recommended even lower values.
- EU from 2030: daily 45 µg/m³, 18 days allowed. In 2024 there were 2 such days.
- WHO 2021: daily 45 µg/m³, at most three to four days a year. In 2024 there were 2 such days.

Values in µg/m³. ■ marks a month with at least one day above the limit; the number allowed applies to the whole year. “No readings”: days on which not a single reading came from the station.
There are no readings for this period.

SO₂ by year
Yardstick: EU limits (Directive 2008/50/EC)
| Measure | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Days above 125 µg/m³ (allowed 3) | 0² | 0² |
| Hours above 350 µg/m³ (allowed 24) | 0² | 0² |
| Hours above 500 µg/m³, three hours in a row (alert threshold) | 0 | 0 |
| Annual average, µg/m³ | too few | too few |
| Highest daily average, µg/m³ | 8August 10 | 10April 21 |
| Highest hourly value, µg/m³ | 59August 7 | 44June 15 |
| Hours measured | 43 % | 46 % |
| Days without any reading from the station | 62 | 47 |
² Too few readings to compare with the number allowed: the figure covers only what was measured.
■ and a figure in red: more than is allowed for the whole year.
There is no allowed number for the warning and alert thresholds: every such hour or day is in red.
Compared with the new EU rules and the WHO recommendation
This is not the yardstick for the verdict above, only a comparison. From 2030 the EU tightens its limits (Directive (EU) 2024/2881), and since 2021 the World Health Organization has recommended even lower values.
- EU from 2030: daily 50 µg/m³, 18 days allowed. In 2024 there were 0 such days.
- WHO 2021: daily 40 µg/m³, at most three to four days a year. In 2024 there were 0 such days.

Outages in the last 12 months
Every period of at least 24 hours in which no reading arrived from this station.
Days without a reading: 365
1 outage, 8,760 hours in total in the last 12 months.
Timeline of outages from October 8, 2025 to today
| From | To | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Nov 22, 2024 06:00 | still ongoing | 684 days |
Calculated from the hourly values the EEA publishes. If late values arrive afterwards, an outage gets shorter or disappears.
Where the data comes from
Measured by Kosova Environmental Protection Agency ( KEPA). We take the values from the European Environment Agency (EEA) under the CC BY 4.0 licence.
Values marked provisional have not been fully checked by the network yet. The EEA publishes verified data for the previous year once a year, usually by the end of September.
An hourly value is the average of one hour. We show the end of the hour: the value to 18:00 was measured from 17:00 to 18:00.
A day runs from midnight to midnight local time.
We only show an average when at least three out of four hours in the period have a reading. The EU air quality directive requires this for daily averages, and we apply the same rule to longer periods. We compare an annual average with the EU limit only once 90 % of hours are measured, as the directive requires. For 12 months and for a year we ask for more: if less than 90 % of hours are measured, every full calendar month needs readings for at least half of its hours. Otherwise a whole season could be missing from the average, such as summer, when ozone is highest.
We do not call a difference of up to 10 % a change, nor one of up to 1 µg/m³ at low levels, because weather and measurement uncertainty alone cause differences that size.
When a station sends no reading, the EEA sometimes fills the hour with a model estimate. We draw those hours dashed and leave them out of every average.
The EU limits come from Directive 2008/50/EC. Here they serve as a yardstick for comparison. When more than a tenth of the days or hours are missing, the number of exceedances can only be higher, so we write “at least” in front of it.
