Department of Air Protection
About Us
The Department of Air Protection is a team of highly qualified specialists in engineering and environmental protection, offering comprehensive consulting and substantive and technical support to companies and institutions. The team specializes in analyzing the impact of production activities on the environment and then reducing it by implementing modern solutions for air protection, waste management and water and wastewater management. We focus on activities that help optimize resource consumption and minimize emissions, striving for a sustainable way of operating.
