OCENA SKUTECZNOŚCI POLITYKI ANTYSMOGOWEJ PAŃSTWA
EFFICIENCY OF GOVERNMENT ANTI-SMOG POLICY

Summary/Abstract: For many years, bad quality of air in Poland has had an adverse impact on the quality of the community life. Recently, certain steps have been taken both on the national as well as regional level to limit most toxic pollutants. The steps that were taken included the development of power mobility as well as barriers and bans on those heating installations that were most noxious for the environment. By the same token, appropriate legislation was enacted regulating the standards for solid fuels along with the incentives for changing the structure of heating agents. Nonetheless, careful analysis of the suggested solution indicates that their efficiency will remain negligible. In reality, coal based power generation is still preferred, and the interest in improving the quality of air still remains secondary.
