Upper Silesia is an example of the most industrially changed natural environment in Poland. This state is a consequence of mining development in the last 150 years as well as accumulation of a number of towns and industrial companies with high impact to the environment. A decrease of radiocarbon concentration resulted from the "Suess effect" was observed in the Upper Silesia region. Estimation of this effect, on the basis of carbon isotope analysis in annual tree rings collected from trees growing in the region considered, has been carried out.
