AIR PROTECTION REGIME IN EUROPE

Streszczenie w języku polskim

The legal status of atmospheric air is twofold. First, in international air law, when it refers to the airspace of a state, it refers to the air column above the border line and to the air that lies within a given territory the space to which, as a rule, the jurisdiction of a given state applies, although its composition is constantly changing. This legal status is determined by the state and interstate agreements and is applied in the legal regulation of air communications, transportation. Secondly, under international environmental law, speaking of air protection, we consider air an undivided resource. Any major source of pollution not only contributes to the spread of harmful substances to the local or local level, but also goes beyond the borders of the state, i.e., has a transboundary nature and therefore requires the consolidation of efforts of the world community to combat its pollution. The danger of uncontrolled changes in the state of atmospheric air and the consequent threat to thex existence of living organisms, including humans, have required decisive practical measures to protect it, national and international legal regulation of its. The world community must work together to combat this problem. The task of paramount importance in this sphere is the adoption of a UN universal convention on the protection of atmospheric air.
