Air pollution is a global threat leading to large impacts on health and urban ecosystems.The air quality index is based on measurement of particulate matter (PM_2.5 and PM₁₀), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂), Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Ozone (O₃). Recent the years in Kosovo are installed nation air quality monitoring in different areas such as residential areas, industrial, roadside and reference areas. The study was conducted in Prishtina region between November-December 2021 and January 2022 in five monitoring stationes. The purpose of this paper is to determine compliance with air quality limit value, to detect pollutant levels (NO₂, SO₂, CO, O₃), particulate matter (PM₁₀ and PM_2.5) and to study the values of exceedances, from the standards values for air quality. Air quality monitoring in this study was done in the study area Agglomeration-AKS1 (IHMK, ex-Rilindja, Obiliq, Dardhishte and Palaj). Particulate matter (PM₁₀) and (PM_2.5) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂) have shown exceedancces value from the standard values for air quality in Agglomeration-AKS1area in Prishtina. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂) have shown exceedancces value (100-120 μg/m³) from the standard values for air quality at the ex-Rilindja (132.2 μg/m³). PM_2.5 has exceeded the limit values (20–25 μg/m³) in monitoring stations:IHMK,Obiliq, Dardhishte and Palaj. The respect and application of international standards for air quality strengthens the image of Kosovo, preserves the health of citizens, fulfills environmental criteria, while the contribution of the media is considered important.
