The terrain of Serbia is influenced by its proximity to the Alps, Carpathians, Rhodopes, the Adriatic Sea, and the Pannonian plain. The country features river ravines and plains in the northern area. Due to the specific terrain, natural lakes are sparse and small, with most located in Vojvodina. There are also numerous artificial lakes created by hydroelectric dams. The landscape is further shaped by a dense network of rivers and creeks that cover most of the country.
SourceSerbia has higher estimates of premature death due to air pollution than most countries in the European Union. Monitoring stations managed by national authorities indicate that concentrations of air pollutants, especially particulate matter, regularly exceed levels that protect human health. The main sources of outdoor air pollution include the energy sector, the transport sector, waste dump sites, and industrial activities. Specific contributors include various industrial complexes, cement factories, chemical plants, and thermal power plants. Additionally, fossil fuel-based individual household heating in periurban and rural towns is a documented source of pollution.
