Modelling the Interaction between Air Pollutant Emissions and Their Key Sources in Poland

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between key sources of air pollutant emissions (sources of energy production, factories which are particularly harmful to the environment, the fleets of cars, environmental protection expenditure) and the main environmental air pollu...
