Observing of air quality in cities of Central Kazakhstan

Abstract

The problem of air quality occupies a special place among the problems of environmental protection. This is due primarily to the vital need for atmospheric air for all life on Earth, and the influence of the state of the atmosphere on global climatic processes and the biosphere as a whole due to the enormous mobility of air masses with which harmful impurities can be transported. These issues are especially relevant for the old industrial regions, where the level of anthropogenic impact has reached a critical value, one of these regions is central Kazakhstan. This article has collected data for the last 3.5 years, particalary the quantitative content of the main pollutants, from suspended particles (PM-10 and smaller) to various chemical compounds such as carbon dioxide or nitric oxide. Observation of atmospheric air by government is an integral part of the Unified State System for Monitoring the Environment and Natural Resources and is carried out in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of environmental protection.
