I enjoyed reading your research report.

It thoroughly describes the two locations you studied, and the data collected. How do your findings inform your understanding of the impact of transport on the conditions at your locations? What questions do your findings help you answer?

Dear,

thank you for your message.

In the place, just above the place of research there is the national road number 85, above all it is the access road to Warsaw-Modlin Airport. It is also part of the Warsaw-Gdańsk communication route. In addition, the road and the railway bridge together with the Modlin station (mentioning that in the Polish history, the town of Modlin played an important role) are of great importance to the local community as they are the only nearest access to the capital and the poviat city of Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki. We can also point out that local authorities promote ecological forms of transport such as train. Therefore, it is understandable that these communication paths are characterized by very high congestion, and thus the emission of many fumes. I can also say that in the area of ​​research sites, homeowners are heating up traditional coal furnaces in Poland (so-called smog), which also does not affect the state of the local environment and the river.

We will be happy to answer any questions you have about our project.

Yours faithfully,

Jakub
