Abstract:
This article discusses issues related to optimizing the state of
East Kazakhstan environment. It is emphasized that along with the
industrial progress observed in recent years in the East Kazakhstan region
in such sectors of the economy as machinery and metal working, heat and
power, woodworking, timber, light and food industries, production of
building materials, the level of environmental pollution has increased. The
article gives examples of how the activities of the enterprises of
metallurgical industry, heat power engineering and motor transport cause a
real threat of the environmental crisis in the region. It is concluded that the
solution of the environmental problem is possible through comprehensive
measures, including the issues of increasing the efficiency of use and
protection of water resources, reducing the chemical load on the soil,
creating infrastructure for waste processing, improving the health and
quality of life of the residents of the region. These measures together can
contribute to overcoming the current environmental crisis of the East
Kazakhstan region and radically improving the environment as well
become the key to optimizing the region’s environment. The
methodological basis of the study is the principle of scientific objectivity,
which allows analyzing the subject under study taking into account the
realities of economic changes in the region.
