Tuzla

Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina - The area of Tuzla municipality is one of the most polluted areas in B&H, especially in three following segments:

worst air quality - due to emissions from thermo power plant, industrial heat production facilities and individual heating systems;
most polluted water streams - due to enormous discharge of waste waters; and
significant areas with degraded soil - due to uncontrolled exploitation of coal, salt and quark sand.

Ugljevik

Ugljevik - mine and thermo power plan (M&TPP) located in North-East part of Bosnia and Herzegovina - M&TPP Ugljevik is only 30 km far from international border with Croatia and 25 km from Serbia. There are settlements very close to the M &TPP, and the most inhabited place, with some 5,000 residents, is Ugljevik. Wastewaters at the M&TPP are discharged into the Janja and Mezgraja Rivers, whose waters are used to irrigate orchards and crops, as well as to water livestock. Janja and Mezgraja rivers are tributaries of Drina River that belong to Sava and Danube water basin. A significant amount of water with high concentration of salts is continuously discharged into the river Janja.
