Gardeners and rural residents begin preparing their plots for the new season. The simplest way to get rid of last year's dried plants is to set them on fire. Moreover, there is still a belief that such a measure improves soil fertility.

41°46’0072″N 73°10’4068″E Semi-wild dumps are one of the significant factors of pollution, negatively impacting natural components: the atmosphere, water sources, soil, and plant and animal life. By being placed directly on the soil cover, dumps remove a significant portion of land from agricultural use and the biosphere, introducing pollutants into them. When waste placed in unauthorized dumps ignites, toxic and poisonous substances are released into the atmosphere. Atmospheric precipitation

41°17’8047″N 72°28’8272″E In 1946, industrial development of the Mailuu-Suu deposit began. In the late 1940s, the atomic industry started to form in Kyrgyzstan, focused on fulfilling military programs. It was during this period that the development of mines with high uranium and rare earth material content began. From 1966 to 1973, 23 tailings dumps containing about 2 million cubic meters of radioactive waste were decommissioned on the territory of the former mines. Mailuu-Suu is unique in that

41°15’2477″N 72°25’6729″E Semi-wild dumps are one of the significant factors of pollution that negatively affect natural components: the atmosphere, water sources, soil, and plant and animal life. By being located directly on the soil surface, dumps remove a significant portion of land from agricultural circulation and the biosphere, introducing pollutants into them.

41°15’3504″N 72°25’5819″E Industrial waste dumps are always one of the adverse factors affecting the health of the local population. The MSELZ waste dump in Mailuu-Suu consists of mountains of broken glass and soil mixed with metal parts from defective light bulbs. The glass dump is a rather apocalyptic sight: a giant mound of wet glass towers among the stunted mountain shrubs. Just ten years ago, thousands of residents of Mailuu-Suu were extracting non-ferrous metals (nickel) from it. The
