摘要：Many industrial investments may exert a significantly adverse impact on the natural environment. One of the methods used to limit the expansion of industrial pollutants is the creation of wooded protective zones around plants. One of the reasons for establishing a protective zone is the lack of practical possibility of satisfying the standards specified by the regulations. The case study has been based on the example of zone established around the Głogów Copper Smelter complex in the year 1987, covering an area of 2.84 thousand ha. In a consequence of the significant improvement of the state of forest- and agrocenoses in the closest vicinity of the enterprise, the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Poland, by virtue of the provisions applicable in the Act on Environment Protection Law, is able to eliminate the protective zone. Nevertheless the good idea is to leave the protective area development (i.e. forest), with a changed administrative-legal formula.
