# Environmental Protection Agency

A state agency whose monitoring stations track air quality. In 2020 its stations in Bor recorded sulphur dioxide concentrations five times above the permitted level. For 2023 it reported that there had been no exceedances, while local researchers warn that arsenic and cadmium levels have risen significantly since then.
