Industrial companies lose millions due to smog

Industrial companies in the Moravia-Silesia Region have reported losses in tens of millions of crowns as a result of production restrictions imposed on them in the past couple of weeks due to air pollution in the region. The largest polluters are obliged to reduce production when meteorologists declare smog regulation measures. Some companies voluntarily reduce production when only a smog alert is declared. In the Ostrava and Karviná districts, a smog alert was first declared on October 31st and called off on Monday morning.
