There has been enormous pollution and biodegradation of environment in Poland as the consequence of industrialization developed regardless the principles of sustainable development. In the recent years, the decrease of total emission of air pollution caused by gases and dust, the decrease of emission of unprocessed sewage and industrial waste can be seen. These facts are the consequences of economic recession which have appeared in Poland along with economic transformation. However, there is still significant escalation of environmental pollution, in so-called areas of ecological hazards. There are heavily industrialized and urbanized areas covering about 10% of the total country area but inhabited by over 30% of the total country population. The significant environmental pollution goes together with deterioration of the country's health situation what can be seen in shortening the average lifetime expectancy, increased frequency of cardiovascular diseases and cancers and higher infants death rate in comparison to other European countries. Considering the complexity of the factors affecting the population's health status, the basis of the health and environmental policy conceived in order to stop and alter the unwanted health condition tendencies and the environmental quality have been shown here.
由于不顾可持续发展原则发展工业化，波兰出现了严重的环境污染和生物降解问题。近年来，可以看到气体和粉尘造成的空气污染总排放量有所下降，未经处理的污水和工业废物排放量也有所减少。这些事实是波兰经济转型带来的经济衰退的结果。然而，在所谓的生态危害地区，环境污染仍在显著加剧。有一些工业化和城市化程度很高的地区，占全国总面积的10%左右，但居住着全国总人口的30%以上。严重的环境污染伴随着该国健康状况的恶化，这体现在平均预期寿命缩短、心血管疾病和癌症发病率增加以及与其他欧洲国家相比更高的婴儿死亡率上。考虑到影响人口健康状况的因素的复杂性，本文展示了为阻止和改变不良健康状况趋势及环境质量而构想的健康与环境政策的基础。
