According to a report from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, about 70% of wastewater treatment facilities in the country are not operational. This is official statistics; however, experts believe that in reality, 95% of the treatment facilities are non-functional. These issues seem to be "deservedly forgotten" because, due to the established economy,

Coordinates: Latitude 42°787178 Longitude 73°610606 Plastic pollution is represented in many forms, including the contamination of water bodies, water pollution with plastic particles, plastic nets, and so on. A large number of plastic products produced each year are intended for single use: disposable packaging items or products that are typically discarded within a year. Consumers of various types of plastic products often use them once and then throw them away or replace them. The average

By being placed directly on the soil cover, dumps remove a significant portion of land from agricultural circulation and the biosphere, introducing pollutants into them. When waste placed in unauthorized dumps catches fire, toxic and hazardous substances are released into

Coordinates: Latitude 42°726235 Longitude 73°600616 The primary cause of the acute environmental situation in Kyrgyzstan is overgrazing, which is not only due to the large number of livestock but also to changes in the pasture usage system, which has become year-round. As a result, pasture degradation is observed, with processes of replacing annual forage grasses with weeds intensifying. The negative consequences of overgrazing include desertification, soil erosion, deforestation, degradation

Coordinates: Latitude 42°775173 Longitude 73°832779 The Kara-Balta Mining and Processing Plant (KGPP) is the largest enterprise for the processing of uranium-containing ore in Central Asia. It causes colossal harm to the environment, as the burial of radioactive and toxic waste poses the greatest ecological danger. Four tailings storage facilities in Kara-Balta were actively used from 1955 to 1993. Currently, one of them is periodically used for the storage of non-radioactive gold production

It was built by the Chinese company "China Petrol Junda" and was commissioned in 2014. It was reported that approximately $300 million was invested in the construction of the facility. Officials from the relevant ministry promised the residents of Kara-Balta an economic breakthrough and all the benefits
