Air pollution is the fourth largest cause of premature death in the world, Dr. Piotr Dąbrowiecki from the Department of Internal Diseases, Infectious Diseases and Allergology of the Military Institute of Medicine in Warsaw told PAP. Polish research also confirms its harmful impact on health.
Pliosaurs - a group of plesiosaurs - reached great sizes much earlier than previously thought, according to research by an international team of scientists including a researcher from the Polish Academy of Sciences. The discovery sheds new light on the course of the evolution of the huge marine predators.
Around 19 percent of Poles - almost one in five - have symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), new research shows. This is much higher than the world average (approx. 5-10 percent). This is facilitated by unprocessed, transgenerational trauma dating back to World War II, explains Dr. Marcin Rzeszutek from the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Warsaw.
