When is the fog? What are the air standards in Poland?

Standards are specified in the Regulation of the Minister of Environment dated 24 August 2012 on the quantities of certain substances in the air. According to them:

• Pollution by PM10: Daily PM10 concentration level 50µg / m³ And should not exceed 35 days per year. In addition, the annual average should not exceed 40 g / m³.
• PM2.5 Pollution: For PM2.5 dust, the regulator has only annual standards, viz 25µg / m³. The World Health Organization (WHO) has adopted a daily standard of 25 µg / m³. We need to keep in mind that any level of PM2.5 dust concentration can adversely affect our health.

What is PM2.5 dust?

PM2.5 is dust with particles larger than 2.5μm. The World Health Organization (WHO) has described the group of air pollutants as the most harmful to human health. Its detriment is that, among other things, its particles are so small that they can penetrate the alveoli into the bloodstream. Continuous inhalation of contaminated BM2.5 dust has been shown to reduce lifespan. Even short-term exposure can be harmful and increase the risk of respiratory and circulatory diseases. In addition, there are troublesome symptoms caused directly by contact with polluted air: Breathing air polluted with PM2.5 dust increases the risk of heart attack and arrhythmia.

What is PM10 dust?

PM10 is dust made of particles less than or equal to 10 m in diameter. Its occurrence is mainly related to the combustion process of solid and liquid fuels. Dust may contain substances that are toxic and harmful to humans. Smoke, soot, asbestos, metal particles (arsenic, nickel, cadmium, lead), dioxins, furans and benzopyrene and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons – all of which are not only dangerous but also have a negative impact on our health.

How can we verify SMOG?

To check the current air quality, we use open data provided by the system Censor.Community And GIOS. Data from sensors located in the area where we prepare the report is averaged over the last 15 minutes and is published in an accessible format. For simplicity, we considered 25 µg / m³ to be a high quality of PM2.5 and 40 µg / m³ for PM10.

Smoke haze in numbers

• A report by the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Technology shows that in 2016, smoking killed 19,000 people. Polish people.
• Every year Polish cities spend more money on environmental protection-related activities. 12 cities are allocating over PLN 2.5 billion for this purpose.
• In Poland 52% of smoke is called low emissions, i.e. combustion with domestic boilers and emissions parameters.
• The famous SMOG record in Poland belongs to Ripnik. There, the air pollution in January 2017 was _3 126% of the norm.
