Abstract

The decrease in fuel consumption for energy production occurs mainly due to the expense of domestic hard coal. This phenomenon is beneficial due to ecological reasons as well as due to short-term economic effects. Pollution of the natural environment in Poland by industrial plants has decreased, while sulfur dioxide emission has decreased. The greatest progress was achieved in reducing dust emissions by installing electrostatic precipitators with efficiency over 95%. The least progress has been made in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. It should be remembered that polluted air is the biggest Polish civilization problem. This is related to the use of hard coal by Polish people for heating purposes during the heating season, which has an effect in the phenomenon of smog occurring in our country. According to the report of the Supreme Audit Office, the 50 most polluted cities in Europe are located 36 cities in Poland. Real improvement of air quality is possible only by limiting the use of solid fuels. The aim of the paper was to analyze atmospheric pollution in Polish cities in the recent period. The results of research on the impact of pollutant emissions on the state of the atmospheric air of two cities in Poland were presented. Results of PM10 particulates and benzo(a)pyrene from measurement points of local monitoring stations in the last decade were presented.
