The drawing speaks for itself. Or if it doesn’t, here are a few quick facts:
- 33 out of 50 European cities with the most severe air pollution are in Poland.
- 48 thousand people in Poland die prematurely every year from diseases linked to air pollution.
- In December 2017 air quality in Warsaw was worse than in Beijing.
If the Polish government wanted Poland to become Europe’s capital, it achieved its goal – it became Europe’s capital of smog. Not sure if it’s that great of an achievement.
The main reasons behind Poland’s insanely high air pollution levels are low-stack emissions – according to data, 70% of households burn low quality coal and rubbish to heat their homes. State investments in unprofitable coal mines don’t cease.
Who wants less crap in Polish air?
