The quality of
surface and underground
waters, insufficient level of connectionto sewerage and
treatment of wastewaters, mainly in the hinterland of
Košice, represent other serious problems. At the present time,
drinking water is supplied to Košice in required quantity and
quality, however, many villages in the surroundings of Košice suffer
from the lack of water and there are also cases of hygienically
harmful water.
Noiseoriginating from transportation, mainly of road, railway and
air transport, is a serious and still underrated risk for the health
of population.
The problems with the disposal of wastes by
their incineration are very serious both from health and hygienic
points of view.
