Among the pressing eco threats are the aluminum factory in Podgorica that spread red industrial mud pools and industrial waste landfill; the Niksic iron processing factory generating an industrial waste landfill and lacking eco chimney filters; the Bijela shipyard, near Herceg Novi, a landfill of industrial waste and sea pollution; Pljevlja thermal power plant, featuring a landfill of poison ash and industrial waste; and Pljevlja coal mine, producing industrial fog and river pollution.
U najveće se prijetnje okolišu ubraja tvornica aluminija u Podgorici, koja stvara bare crvenog industrijskog mulja i na zemljištu odlaže industrijski otpad; nikšićka tvornica za preradu željeza koja na zemljištu odlaže industrijski otpad i nema ekološke filtre na dimnjacima; brodogradilište Bijela kraj Herceg Novog, koje odlaže industrijski otpad i zagađuje more; termoelektrana Pljevlja koja odlaže otrovni pepeo i industrijski otpad te rudnik ugljena Pljevlja, koji ispušta štetne plinove i zagađuje rijeke.
