Pollution of the Floodplain Forest of the Issyk-Ata River No. 1
Coordinates: 42.650744, 74.957803 Illegal dumps of solid household waste (SHW) pose one of the main threats to the environment, particularly in terms of soil and groundwater contamination. Since such dumps are not properly managed, the waste stored in them undergoes uncontrolled decomposition, releasing toxic substances into the environment. As a result, both surface and deep layers of soil, as well as aquifers, become contaminated, which can have long-term negative consequences for ecosystems
