EXPENDITURE ON AIR PROTECTION IN POLISH CITIES WITH DISTRICT RIGHTS AND IMPROVING ITS QUALITY

Summary/Abstract: Purpose | The aim of this study is to systematise the legal basis for performing tasks related to air protection by cities with powiat rights in Poland and to conduct a comparative analysis and evaluation of expenditure on these tasks in the context of reducing the main pollutants. Research method | The article uses empirical methods of observation, comparison and measurement. The empirical study covered all 66 MPPs in years 2017-2023. The analysis was based on data obtained from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office, the Ministry of Finance and the Chief Inspectorate for Environmental Protection. In the article, the average level of the main dust and gas pollutants in Polish cities was calculated and visualised using Tableu software. The paper also presents data on air protection expenditures classified under the chapter 90005 of the budget classification and their effects, which were considered to be the change in the concentration of the selected air pollutants in Polish MPPs. Data on the change in concentrations due to their availability were presented only for 45 cities.
