Warsaw reports on results of its air quality projects
Warsaw has reported on its air quality initiative, noting that the data over the last 12 years shows steady improvement.
Headed by Mayor of Warsaw Rafał Trzaskowski, city authorities pointed out that air quality is improving slowly but steadily, reminding that Warsaw launched its clean air initiative in 2017.
In the period between 2017 and 2022, “a clear improvement trend can be seen” as residents gradually replace more polluting boilers with modern ones, Warsaw authorities stressed.
The number of old boilers in Warsaw has dropped by approximately 10,000 in the last five years or so, as the city invests in new boilers in municipal buildings and supports the residents with subsidies.
In 2022, average particulate pollution was within the norm at all measuring stations, with city authorities stressing that more needs to be done to improve air quality in Warsaw.
Councillor for green spaces Magdalena Młochowska pointed out that the city will continue to adopt measures aimed at improving air quality and cooperate with partners to achieve environmental goals.
Warsaw authorities reminded that the city is investing in public transport to decarbonise the sector and introducing education on air pollution in primary and secondary schools as well as organising workshops to raise awareness.
New measuring stations installed in all districts allow residents to check air quality in all parts of Warsaw, with city authorities reminding that data can be accessed online.
