Real Estate / Moving to the Katowice area soon! Safe neighborhood for an Irish man? [38]

All I have to say is, get a HEPA filter. If you are in Germany or the UK, get one there because they are very hard to find in Poland. The air is so bad in Katowice that it is often worse than in Beijing and other Chinese cities. Kraków looks like it is foggy all winter because of the pollution and Katowice is even worse. I would only go to Southern Poland during the summer.
