Climate justice: air quality and transitions from solid fuel heating

Buildings & Cities, 2020
Of all the European Union’s member states, Poland has the most acute ambient air pollution problem. An urgent transition from solid-fuel heating ('e.g.' coal and wood) in the housing sector is required to improve air quality in the country.
