Quality of air in northern Moravia worsens

The quality of air in northern Moravia has again worsened, the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute said on Friday. Most measuring stations in the region registered values twice exceeding emission standards of dust. The regional authorities have asked the biggest polluters in the area, including the steel producer Arcelor Mittal, to say how they are going to limit emissions. The lower house of Parliament also called on the Czech government on Friday to come up with concrete measures to improve the situation.
