Kazakhstan Environmental Issues:

The land-locked country of Kazakhstan has many environmental issues. There are radioactive or toxic chemical sites (associated with former defense industries and test ranges) scattered throughout the country, which pose health risks for humans and animals. Because the two main rivers which flowed into the Aral Sea have been diverted for irrigation, the sea is drying up and leaving behind a harmful layer of chemical pesticides and natural salts. These substances are picked up by the wind and blown into noxious dust storms. There is pollution in the Caspian Sea. The soil is polluted as a result of salination from poor infrastructure and wasteful irrigation practices, as well as from the overuse of agricultural chemicals. Some of Kazakhstan's cities have severe industrial pollution. Copyright information: The images on this page were composed by Angela King and Brad Cole and are copyright by Geology.com.
