Air pollution is a significant threat to the health of the inhabitants of Polish cities

Abstract

Air quality in Polish cities is in poor condition. The alarming condition of the natural environment is largely the result of omissions and past mistakes, even the distant ones. Recent years show how the climate has changed and how negatively these changes affect people’s health. Every year more people die from smog in Poland than as a result of road accidents. The article was created as an attempt to answer the questions: what is the level of air pollution in Polish cities and what actions are taken by the authorities at the local and central level to reduce the causes and effects of these pollutants.
