  1. We’re strong people, it’s just a daily dose of lung training.

  2. Italy suffers the same fate in the Northern flats during some weather patterns, it’s because the mountains around the area block all air currents.

  4. That’s kinda fucked.

    Also what is Latvia and Balkans hiding?

  7. “Significantly worse than anywhere in India”. It’s hilarious how there’s room to slander India even under a post about Poland.

  12. WTF? Why is dark red folows the violet? They have like green-> red,violet, and then again red?

  16. Lung cancer is an obligatory souvenir everyone brings from visiting silesia

  17. in other words, water is wet.

    now i gtg, plastic bottles won’t burn themselves

  18. It’s because of all that groch and bigos we ate during xmas

  23. That’s Silesia where many households still heat with coal. WONGEL POWAA

  24. Makes sense, there is this strange “tint” in the air today

  25. I was going yesterday through some poland cities like Kalisz and other small towns and the smell was very horrible. Probably because many people use wood to heat their house

  27. I’m on the outer ring of that red area now and it’s some of the worst air I’ve breathed in a decade, total disaster.

  28. No shit. Damn near everyone burns coal to fire their boilers.

  29. Don’t worry about us. We just need to chew air a little bit.

  30. Forgot to mention a significant chunk of energy goes to export to Germany? They removed power plants, and they suck electricity from Poland and Scandinavian countries.

  31. I checked now and northern Italy Po Valley is bad too.

    But all of India and China is far worse.

  33. Krakow area is notorious for poor air quality due to burning poor quality fuel fires in winter, ex-soviet cars, the valley basin absorbing pollution and the the nearby factories.

  35. people shitting on germany for their their use of coal and gas in this sub but I dont see the air quality be this bad there.

  36. Śląsk 💪 Slezsko💪Silesia💪

    We don’t need to breathe, we have alcohol.

  37. I’m back in central Poland for Christmas as I am every single year and stepping outside for my morning walk feels like all the neighbours are burning plastic in their chimneys. Some years are worse than others but these fucking idiots need to get their shit together. It’s straight up disgusting.

  38. You cant be the China of Europe without the China air quality.

  42. What did you expect to happen with this energy mix?

    36.1% Coal, 32.6% Oil, 16.2% Natural Gas, 11.7% Biofuels and Waste

  44. Do we measure air pollutions in ‚India‘ now?

    Poland has 1.3 Indias today.
