TITLE: Industrial Dream

These photos were taken in Bulgaria. The most polluted country in the EU according the statistics for 2019 year.

Among the EU member states, the annual mean concentration of fine particles (PM2.5) is highest in urban areas of Bulgaria (19.6 μg/m3). Also, Bulgaria is first in the statistics about the number of premature deaths caused by air pollution in Europe - 211 per 100 000.

From my personal experience, I can tell that during winter in Sofia, sometimes it's hard to breathe the polluted air, when you go out.
