This paper addresses policy-making related to air quality management in Eastern Europe and Poland, specifically. It reviews the data on air quality for Poland and the region, current regulations governing air quality, and the most recent estimates of the disease burden attributable to air pollution. It considers the public health gains that could be made with more stringent air pollution control measures, contrasting these gains with those that could be achieved with tobacco control.
