Albania is on the fifth place (171.4), Serbia on 10th (137.2), Macedonia in 12th (128.9) and Montenegro on 16th (123.5).
Air pollution in everyday life is caused by unclean fuels and inefficient technologies has led to 4.3 million deaths worldwide in 2012, according to a recent World Health Organization report.
