Poland's aspiration to join the European Union has accelerated the process of environmental improvements. These improvements originate in the transposition and implementation of the enuironmental acąuis, which covers such issues as naturę protection, water and air quality, waste management, chemicals and genetically modified organisms, industrial pollution and risk assessment. The Polish government has adopted 31 December 2002 as the date, by which Poland will be prepared for accession to the European Union (EU). This process of harmonisation and implementation of enuironmental acąuis means the introduction of about 170 EU legal documents in Polish environmental legislation. This goal is closely connected to many environmental challenges that Poland faces at present. There is a wide range of environmental challenges. Their scope covers not only environmental, but also economical and social aspects. (fragment of text)
