Bulgaria

For years Pernik, in southwestern Bulgaria, has topped the charts for the city with the highest air pollution in the EU.

There is a 740 GW potential for cost-competitive renewable power generation across South East Europe.

Bulgaria and Latvia have to improve protection for citizens from particulate matter (PM₁₀) pollution. Citizens in all six zones and agglomerations in Bulgaria (AG Sofia, AG Plovdiv, AG Varna, North, South-West and South-East) have been exposed to excessive levels of PM₁₀ since at least 2007.
