Are radio and television will be informed about air pollution? – Business portal wnp.pl

Polish smog alert appealed to Barbara Stanisławczyk, CEO of Polish Radio and Jacek Kurski, chairman of the board of Polish Television, attach information on the current and forecasted air quality forecasts presented in national and regional stations radio and television.

Polish smog alert argues that Poland has the most polluted air in the European Union, and the concentration of carcinogenic benzo [a] pyrene and the dust goes back to the heating season levels characteristic rather for the regions of the world with the worst quality air (China, India) than in European countries.

– the Polish society is practically not informed about the current air pollution and does not have access to information about high pollutant concentration – information these are presented mainly on the Internet and it only to people who are actively seeking information on the subject. As much as 70 percent. residents want to have broad access to information about the current air quality, and 65 percent. feel insufficiently informed in this regard – says Polish smog alert.

According to the Polish Alarm Smogowego dissemination of information about air pollution is extremely important to enable people at risk of breathing heavily polluted air at least partial protection of their own health. While high concentrations of pollutants should be primarily to reduce exposure to the outside – this applies especially children, pregnant women, the elderly and patients with diseases of the circulatory and respiratory systems. In these days should also not play sports outside. There are a number of simple actions, so that we can limit their exposure to smog – to take their information is needed, however, that the day’s air pollution is high.

PAS provides that each year in Poland due to air pollution prematurely dying 45 thousand. people. Parts of these deaths could have been avoided if we had behaved properly during the presence of high concentrations of air pollutants.

– We are of the opinion that the administration of critical information to protect public health, and as such should be considered information of high air pollution, is the fulfillment of the public before the media – says Ewa Lutomska the Polish Alarm Smogowego.
