Since then, more than 105 tonnes have been removed, reported the Polish Press Agency (PAP). In 2022, up to 1,000 tonnes of fish died in the Oder. Deputy climate minister Urszula Zielińska said at the press conference that in addition to the hydrogen peroxide experiment around 7,000 samples had been taken and more than 80,000 algae tests had been carried out at 11 points along the Oder and the Vistula “In cooperation with the IRŚ [Institute of Inland Fisheries] we have installed 30 permanent monitoring points where salinity temperature and oxygenation of the water along the Oder River can be checked 24 hours a day,” Zielińska said Together with the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management the ministry has set up a system to predict salinity 72 hours in advance forecast and react better to crises such as the one today in Dzierżno Duże” Earlier this month, the climate ministry notified prosecutors that the PiS government failed to implement a water monitoring system promised after the 2022 Oder disaster Poland’s climate ministry has informed prosecutors of potential crimes by officials under the former government, who failed to implement a water monitoring system promised after an environmental disaster on the Oder river in 2022 https://t.co/9Z3ESDwnsk — Notes from Poland 🇵🇱 (@notesfrompoland) August 8, 2024 believe that the current government is downplaying the present disaster “Have you noticed this spectacular 180-degree turn?” asked Jacek Sasin fish were dying off in agony because of ‘PiS’s mercury’; today Several PiS politicians also criticised Prime Minister Donald Tusk for not having yet publicly addressed the crisis although he was vocal about the 2022 disaster when he was opposition leader “The Tusk team used the situation on the Oder to launch an extreme attack on the PiS government instead of working together to resolve this problem for the future,” wrote PiS MP Dariusz Matecki on X above a tweet by Tusk from 2022 about the Oder crisis "Śnięte są nie tylko ryby na Śląsku, śnięte jest całe państwo pod rządami Tuska.

vulnerable to UV rays to be acceptable as a cladding material.  it invited a metal fabrication company to shape thin inexpensive aluminium sheeting into sections of tubing The shorter sections would cover the end walls while the longer ones would be welded together and riveted to a frame along the sides and sloping roof It was hard to achieve the level of precision required for a perfect fit but the builders rose to the challenge.  To provide good insulation for the work spaces and unheated storage areas the side walls include a layer of glass as a waterproof membrane and a thick layer of

place on December 17 in Gliwice The bout pits head to head two members of KSW royalty Khalidov is arguably the greatest champion in the promotion’s history having held the middleweight and light heavyweight titles over a career with the promotion that stretches back to 2007 After a three-fight skid that prompted him to announce his retirement in 2019 Khalidov returned in stunning fashion to knock out middleweight champion Scott Askham in 36 seconds and recapture the title at 185 pounds But that reign lasted just one fight as he was finished with strikes for the first time since his pro debut by heavy-handed Roberto Soldic at KSW 65 in December 2021 and he’s set to face quite literally the biggest test of his 45-fight MMA career in Pudzianowski who weighs in toward or at the upper

capacities over the last three years with the production of the Peugeot Boxer Citroën Jumper and Fiat Ducato large vans The company also maintains that the transition of the Opel and Vauxhall brands

production capacity of up to 100,000 large vans per year The Gliwice plant also makes the Astra passenger car – also made at Ellesmere Port in the UK In a statement sent to just-auto regarding future

to ‘better supply customers by the end of 2021 and will provide manufacturing visibility for more than a decade in Gliwice’ “This good news for Gliwice is a clear demonstration that our Excellent Plant Program is being executed across all European countries with synergies and efficiency The industrial performance will be a key enabler to serve our ambitions in the commercial vehicle market

and Herzegovina and Poland go head to head meet in a mouth-watering Final on Sunday in Gliwice Here is a guide of everything you need to know about the winner-takes-all matchup at the FIBA Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament  At the starting grid of this 2023 FIBA Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament Bosnia and Herzegovina and Poland stood up as the main favorites to go all the way until the showpiece game in Gliwice being put in the same Group meant one of them losing was the only option when facing each other in the fight for supremacy Following the two convincing victories respectively against surprise package Estonia and first-seeded Israel both Poland and Bosnia and Herzegovina will now battle to stay on the Road to Paris The former has not visited an Olympics since 1980 while the latter has never played on such a fascinating stage and in order to have an opportunity to potentially change history After what we saw on the glass in the Semi-Finals clash between Israel and Bosnia and Herzegovina it will once again be a matter of dominating the paint for the Balkan nation to keep dreaming about the Olympic Games Polish standout Aleksander Balcerowski will find two high-level colleagues on the other side of the floor in Jusuf Nurkic and Luka Garza while Mateusz Ponitka and Dzanan Musa will square off to establish who’s the better ball handler What was the crucial difference between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Poland during their Group B clash in Gameday 2 The respective three-point shooting percentages The ballers in yellow and blue experienced a rough night by banking only 7 of 36 (19.4%) from long-range while the hosts had a way more solid 14 of 32 (43.8%) Recording 10 or more shots from beyond the arc than inside the area It makes perfect sense to say that the ticket for the 2024 Olympic Qualifying Tournaments belongs to those who will find the right balance in shot selection - and a perhaps bit more luck from outside It's not a big surprise considering that Bosnia and Herzegovina surpassed 100 points against Hungary but the Dragons have been the best-scoring team in the whole 2023 FIBA Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament in Poland-Estonia with 87.3 points per game these are the two best teams at shooting the basketball from the field - sat with 48.1 percent in first and 46.3 percent in second spot It could certainly be fun seeing all those buckets dropping in this showpiece game if the trend continues Bosnia and Herzegovina and Poland are the only teams whose players have recorded double-doubles in the competition Jusuf Nurkic and Luka Garza have accomplished the feat twice each
