41°28’9″N 71°46’4″E Unauthorized 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°38’6244″N 71°58’0235″E Anthrax is a particularly dangerous infectious disease affecting agricultural and wild animals, as well as humans, the bacteria of which can remain viable in the soil for a very long time. In Kyrgyzstan, known and unknown cattle burial sites are ticking time bombs. According to specialists, the anthrax virus can remain dormant for up to 100 years and can become active again under favorable conditions. Experts say that unknown foci of infection scattered across pastures

41°38’5141″N 71°58’7205″E Emergency Ministry employees continue to periodically reinforce the banks of the Avletim River in the Aksy District, where there is a threat of erosion of the anthrax burial site. On June 6-7, 2017, due to heavy rainfall, the water level in the Avletim River rose, creating a threat of erosion of this burial site for anthrax outbreaks, established in 1984. The report noted that since systematic work to strengthen this area had not been carried out, the Emergency

41°24’1719″N 72°12’6224″E Quarries, dumps, dust, smoke, poor atmosphere, and intensive open-pit mining cause landslides. The landscape is worse than on the Moon, the air is literally saturated with coal dust, leaving a dark residue everywhere—these are the accompanying "delights" of coal mining activities in Kyrgyzstan. Currently, coal mining in the mining industry of Kyrgyzstan is associated with environmental degradation. Most large enterprises operate in open coal quarries.

41°19’4667″N 72°11’5398″E The coal industry is primarily made environmentally harmful today by the organization of coal storage and transshipment. In Kyrgyzstan, solid fuel is stored everywhere in open areas, and loading is carried out using open terminals. The coal dust that rises into the air settles not only in the loading and storage areas. It also covers neighboring territories, where residential houses, social, and children's institutions are often located. In windy weather, clouds of

41°19’3361″N 72°08’6698″E “Urchuk-Tash” (translated from Kyrgyz as “urchuk” — a spur of a mountain descending in a narrow strip; “tash” — stone) is nothing more than an anticlinal fold — a consequence of a deep tectonic fault in the Earth's crust. In the fault zone, over an area of 15-20 square kilometers, underground forces have gifted us with a natural chronicle of the Earth spanning 200 million years. Here, in the fault zone, one can see traces of ancient seas, remnants of volcanic activity,

41°18’8697″N 72°10’4714″E This is what the "Kristall" factory looks like from a bird's eye view, which could supply semiconductor products to all CIS countries. Construction of the facility began in 1985, and two years later, the first batch of products was released. The factory was intentionally built in this location. The Naryn River, quartz deposits, and the constructed hydroelectric power station created unique conditions for such production. Former workers of "Kristall"

41°23’7703″N 72°12’9936″E According to specialists, a spontaneous dump is a serious source of environmental pollution. In the depths of the garbage pile, decomposition processes occur, involving anaerobic bacteria. As a result of this process, toxic biological gas is released, one of the components of which is methane. Deep soil contamination occurs, foul air is carried by the wind over long distances, and if groundwater is present beneath the dump, it is practically poisoned by toxins. Thus,
