The Turów brown coal (lignite) mine near Poland’s border with Germany and the Czech Republic is filling the atmosphere with dangerous toxins.

In fact, the region’s air pollution is so strong that a rise in premature deaths has been predicted. Greenpeace published a video showing the path taken by the pollution cloud from Turów during May and June of 2018.
