Praktyczne aspekty stosowania uchwały antysmogowej dla województwa śląskiego
Practical aspects of implementing the anti-smog resolution for the Silesian Voivodship

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the paper is an analysis of the provisions concerning the anti-smog resolution that may be adopted by the provincial assembly on the basis of Article 96 of the Act of 27 April 2001. – Environmental Protection Law, taking into account the practical application of such an act. The text consists of two parts: theoretical and empirical. The first part presents a study of the content of the aforementioned provision, as it raises a number of interpretation doubts that often cause difficulties in the application of the law. The second part discusses Resolution No. V/36/1/2017 of the Silesian Regional Assembly of 7 April 2017 on the introduction in the area of the Silesian Voivodeship of restrictions on the operation of installations in which fuel is burned. Reference was made to data on penalties for violations of the provisions arising from Article 334 of the Environmental Protection Law and, for comparison, Article 191 of the Waste Act by selected municipal and township guard units from the area of the Silesian Voivodeship in the years 2019–2023. The collection of this information and its elaboration served to determine what the effectiveness of the legal measure in question is, which in turn made it possible to identify the reasons for the low effectiveness of the use of the provisions contained in the Resolution.
