Abstract

According to the principle of decentralization of public authority, the protection of ambient air in Poland is executed also on the selfgovernmental level. The complex regulation of the issues concerning the protection of ambient air is included in the Act on Environmental Protection Law where the competence to adopt local acts is given to self-governmental authorities. On that ground, the voivodeship assemblies may propose resolutions such as air-protection programmes, short-term activities plans and those preventing the negative impact on the environment or historical monuments. The activity of local selfgovernment within this scope is subject to the control of administrative courts, which often take the submitted complaints into consideration and criticize the quality of the local legislation. This article will thus attempt to present the requirements that shall be fulfilled by the local acts on ambient air protection and identify the sources of their most frequent imperfections.
