Wrocław plans to allocate PLN 330 mln to fight smog

Wrocław wants to allocate in the next five years PLN 330 million to reduce smog. The Mayor of Wrocław Jacek Sutryk in a message sent to the Polish Press Agency (PAP) said that by 2024 all old stoves in municipal houses would be removed. Residents of one property will be able to receive PLN 20,000 for the replacement of the furnace and windows. 

To estimate the scale of the problem, in July 2018 the city signed a contract with the Wrocław University of Technology. "After 10 months of research, the exact number of properties where furnaces should be removed is already known," said Sutryk. He specified that there are 20,000 such properties.
