Smog problems in northern Poland expected to ease

The existence of exceptionally high levels of smog in Pomorskie in recent days should decrease in the coming days as the temperatures moderate, according to the Regional Inspectorate for Environmental Protection in Bydgoszcz and Toruń. The hazardous particulate matter (known as PM10 in technical terminology) are dangerous when they exceed 300 micrograms per cubic meter. “On Wednesday and Thursday in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie the level of recorded concentrations of PM10 decreased at all measurement stations. Due to the current meteorological forecast, we predict that in the coming days, the level of concentration will be further reduced and there will be no crossing of the level of information or the level of alarm,” said Kinga Hildebrandt of Delegation WIOŚ in Toruń.
