Remarks on nonmeasurable unions of big point families

We show that under some conditions on a family A ? I there exists a subfamily A₀ ? A such that ∪ A₀ is nonmeasurable with respect to a fixed ideal I with Borel base of a fixed uncountable Polish space. Our result applies to the classical ideal of null subsets of the real line and to the ideal of first category subsets of the real line (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
