Summary/Abstract: Unlike income inequality, environmental inequality has not been researched in Poland widely. In this chapter, we combine environmental monitoring data with economic indicators in order to address the question of whether regional disparities in environmental quality are linked to income differentials. It turns out that variation of air quality cannot be easily explained by regional economic indicators. The study serves as an exercise in simple econometric modelling.
