(Reuters) - Bosnian towns have topped the world air pollution charts since last weekend, with the capital Sarajevo declaring an air quality warning and experts blaming residential solid fuel burning and transportation for the increase.
Despite Sarajevo authorities' pledge to make the city carbon-free by 2035, a cost of living crisis has forced people to choose cheaper solid fuels for home heating and to drive older cars with higher emissions of pollutants, experts say.
