How often the air is above the limit

For every official monitoring station in BiH: on how many days or hours a year the air was above the legal limit, and how many are allowed. Only measured values count.

25 of 33

stations in BiH were over the number allowed in 2023

Not counted: 1 station with too few readings to judge.

116

most days with PM10 above the limit: Ilijaš

above the number allowed

75

most days with SO₂ above the limit: Visoko

above the number allowed

The whole of 2023.

A day runs from midnight to midnight local time; a daily average needs at least 18 of 24 hours measured. Model estimates do not count.

≥ means at least: the station is missing more than a tenth of the days or hours, so it ranks lower than it would with complete readings.

In Republika Srpska the hourly limit for NO₂ is 150 µg/m³; for stations in the RS we count the hours above 150.

Grey at the end: stations with 0 but too few readings, and, marked ³, stations whose unverified hourly values jump unusually strongly. We compare neither with the allowed number.
