Odory jako prawny problem gospodarki odpadami - nowe definicje pilnie potrzebne

Unpleasant odours that are by-products of numerous industrial plants affect the majority of Polish people. However, to date no regulations have been introduced aimed to protect people against the effects of odours and to regulate the basis for and the scope of responsibility of those who emit them. Moreover, adoption of appropriate regulations is very important because the volume of waste that should necessarily be recycled has not been decreasing. This is also related to the need for establishing waste management plants whose activity, due to, among others, the odours they produce, may lead to social conflicts. The article attempts to analyse the binding regulations on the problems related to odours, on the basis of waste management, and to present the constitutional aspects with regard to this issue.
