The paper presents data on emissions of analyzed pollutants into the air (SO2, NOx, CO, VOC,
NH3, PM10, PM2.5, PAH, Pb, Cd, and Hg) by sector (industry and energy, small combustion plants,
road traffic and services-agriculture and animal husbandry), and by cities and municipalities in
the area of the Zenica-Doboj Canton. Based on the analyzed data, it was determined that the air
quality in the area of the Zenica-Doboj Canton is very endangered and does not satisfy the
prescribed legal regulations, which can potentially affect people's health, ecosystems, economic
prosperity, and development. According to the results of the research, it was determined that the
main causes of excessive air pollution are the production of emissions from industrial and energy
plants, local boiler houses and home fireplaces, road traffic, and the service sector (agriculture,
processing industry, construction, trade), as well as unfavorable climatic conditions, with the
presence of inadequate topographical conditions and other influencing factors.
