Oddziaływanie antropogeniczne na środowisko przyrodnicze krakowskiej Bonarki

The anthropogenic impact on the environment in Cracow's Bonarka

Summary: The paper presents the impact of industry and transport on the environment in Bonarka. This part of the city is located in the right-bank Cracow, on the border of three administrative districts (Podgórze Duchackie, Łagiewniki-Borek Fałęcki, Podgórze). Since the eighties of the nineteenth century there has been a growth of industry in this area. In Bonarka existed a cement factory and a chemical plant producing phosphate fertilizers. Nowadays only a brickyard still works. In 2009 in the former industrial areas a shopping centre called the Bonarka City Center was opened. The study has shown, that the environment has been completely transformed by the anthropogenic impact. In the twentieth century, this place was contaminated by heavy metals and fluorine. In the period 2006-2009 this post-industrial area was remediated. Currently the biggest threats to the environment are transport pollution and noise.
