Pollution in residential areas

The share of the population experiencing pollution or other environmental problems in their residential areas is below the EU average: it was 2.3 percentage points lower, i.e. 11.8% in 2012. The regional average is almost the same as the EU average. However, the share has increased in 2011 by 1 percentage point and it is important to look out for the continuation of the trend. A grade of 5 would have been awarded for a slight increase of the indicator, given that at times of economic crises, GDP contraction should have been seen as a chance to reduce pollution.
