Description :
An important point of the research of the environmental burden of an area is the assessing criteria and selection of indicators. After long analyses and verification on the model districts a standart system with 124 indicators was adopted. A summary assessment contains differant regional influence of air pollution (30), water pollution (13), land devastation (31), biosphere damage (15), physical factors (11 percent). Largest areas with by far highest environmental burden involve a territory stretching from Cheb to Děčin, along the Elbe to Mělník, and to Prague. A second area is the Ostrava region. - (MS)
