Fire at Loznica Landfill: Air Quality Good, But Smoke Still a Threat!
Thought the fire at the Loznica city landfill was over? Think again! The Ministry of Environmental Protection announced that the air quality in Loznica remains good, even after the fire broke out at the city landfill. But don’t be fooled — smoke is still lurking and can sneak into your home if you leave your windows open!
Air Quality Under the Microscope
The automatic measuring station in Loznica showed that concentrations of suspended particles PM10 were below 11 micrograms per cubic meter, well under the daily limit of 50 micrograms. This means the air isn’t dangerously polluted, at least for now. Other measurements like PM2.5, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone also stayed within safe limits.
Firefighters and Municipal Services on the Scene
After the fire broke out, firefighters, rescuers, and municipal services from Loznica, as well as neighboring towns like Mali Zvornik and Valjevo, quickly responded and are actively working to control the fire. The situation is under control but requires constant monitoring because smoke can still appear.
Citizens, Keep Your Windows Closed!
The Ministry urges residents living near the landfill not to open their windows to prevent smoke from entering their homes. Even though the air quality is good, smoke can be irritating and harmful, especially for children, the elderly, and those with respiratory issues.
What Does This Fire Teach Us?
This incident is a stark reminder of how important landfill maintenance is for public health and the environment. Will the authorities finally take the landfill problem seriously and prevent such incidents in the future? Or will we keep watching smoke spread while closing our windows and holding our breath?
Conclusion
The fire at the Loznica landfill may not have caused catastrophic air pollution, but it’s no time to relax. Firefighters and municipal workers are the heroes of the day, but the landfill problem still smolders. Got a hot take or saw something wild about this fire?
