Warsaw is surrounded by suburbs and peripheral small towns that have predominantly single family housing which usually have fireplace as secondary heating source and often coal/wood as primary heating source.
If you follow for example air quality in Legionowo (one of Warsaw northern suburubs) since November till March the air quality drops at around 6pm until 6am to the levels compared to most industrial parts of Silesia. This pollution spreads over central areas of Warsaw depending on the winds.
- pkolaczk 2y agoSuburbs near Warsaw are almost all connected to the gas network. I have many friends who own a house (and I also own a house at the border of the city) and I know nobody who would heat with coal. However the major problem is that gas is expensive and wood is cheaper. It is enough that one house in the neighborhood is heated by burning wood and everybody can smell it. The situation is also much worse in small villages far from Warsaw.
