Abstract
An increase in electromagnetic radiation, across all frequency bands, has been one of multiple effects of the recent developments in the power supply to rapidly growing urban areas in Poland. This has impacted measurements in a range of scientific disciplines, such as astronomy, geophysics, physics of the atmosphere and meteorology, which use electromagnetic observations as research tools. The paper summarises a study on human-induced magnetic interference at extremely low frequencies, i.e. below 3000 Hz, using the records of the Hylaty station from the period 2004–2015. Also, dynamic electro-magnetic spectra are presented with signatures of natural atmospheric, ionospheric and magnetospheric phenomena and processes. The author analysed the spatial extent of the adverse influence of urban areas as the principal cause of an increase of electromagnetic interference in the ELF band and identified potentially clean areas useful for the establishment of new measurement stations in Poland.

Warunki paleoekologiczne subkopalnego koryta Kolonia Bechcice na tle hydrologii środkowego odcinka doliny Neru
The history of the Ner River valley is well documented in Kolonia Bechcice (NKB) palaeochannel sediments. It was cut-off from the riverbed in the Younger Dryas. Its history may be divided into five distinct phases. Durin...
Bodźcowość warunków biometeorologicznych we Wrocławiu (Stimulating qualities of biometeorological conditions in Wrocław)
Stimulating qualities of biometeorological conditions of Wrocław were analyzed on the basis of the values of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) of the years 2008–2014. UTCI values were calculated from 1-hour data...
