Emissions
Polluted air is one of the factors that contribute to affecting human health. Currently, this topic is among the most serious problems of environmental protection. The assessment of the level of air pollution for pollutants of anthropogenic origin and greenhouse gases is carried out in Czechia by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute.
