ABANDONED FLUORESCENT LIGHT PLANT "POLAM" aka "Róża luksemburg"

"Polam" factory lies close to "Daszyńskiego" traffic circle. "Polam" manufactured fluoerscent lights, mercury lamps and electron tubes.
Factory is partrially modernized, but few years ago renovation stopped due to very high mercury contamination.
