Abstract:
The article examines the key aspects of the environmental
condition of the Pavlodar region in the 1990s. It provides an analysis of the
climate, the structure of industrial production, and the availability of
minerals. Based on statistical materials, the state of atmospheric air
characterized by the presence of harmful impurities polluting the
environment has been studied. The status and usage of water resources in
the region are also indicated. The authors note a real threat of pollution of
the Irtysh River by heavy industry waste in the region. The analysis of the
materials showed that despite having significant land resources, the
Pavlodar region inefficiently used them for agriculture. In conclusion, it is
stated that the environment of the region was influenced by an increase in
pollution of water and land resources with toxic metals as a result of the
activities of non-ferrous metallurgy and thermal power plants.
