Ecological Problems in Astana Osmanova Anzhelika Repnikova Yekaterina Kazakhstan Institute of Management, Economics and Strategic Research Introduction to Environmental Studies Instructor: __ Aliya Nurtaeva______ Ecological Problems of Astana Nowadays the problem of ecological conditions of Kazakhstan is considered to be one of the most important issues in our country. Of course, the question concerning ecology is very weighty in all areas of Kazakhstan but the ecological conditions of the capital should be considered as the most significant ones. This statement is very easy to substantiate. The President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbaev, noticed that Astana has a great potential to compete with the brightest cities in the world, therefore it should be in top 30 of the best cities. According to Nursultan Abishevich, Astana, as an example of political and economical stability, as a center of the state should become one of the ecologically cleanest places in the world and to show other Kazakhstani cities an example of ecologically clean area.

In spite of the fact that Astana is situated in a very convenient geographical area and its constantly blowing winds whisk away a large part of pollution, recent statistics shows that there are big problems in Astana ecology. Population Growth as a Beginning of the Problems In present time the question of ecology of Astana is very contradictory because it is very difficult for the fast-growing city to save its ecological conditions in a norm.

Today, during the era of technological progress, Astana, as well as many other big cities, experiences an explosion in diverse aspects of its development. According to “Ecolog”, the population of Astana has increased by three times during the last ten years. Sadybek Tursunov, the deputy of Mazhilis, a chair of the commission after human rights, in his first speech to the Government said that ecological problems of Astana must stay on a foreground. He mentioned that population of Astana has already reached 1 000 000 people and this fact, of course, had an effect on the ecological situation of the city. The arisen situation of constantly increasing population in Astana leads to an increase in the number of cars on the roads and, of course, becomes the core of the biggest environmental problems in the capital.

Referring to recent statistical data the average number of cars in Astana in 2007, in comparison with 2000, rouses by 5 times and reached 200 thousand (Shimanskiy, 2008). There is no doubt that this fact has affected the ecology of the city, especially in two ways: air and water pollution. Air Pollution As Duman Karzhaspaev, the head of the administration for the control after legality in governmental actions, stated, “air conditions in Astana could be considered as unfavourable”. Referring to the statistics given by public prosecution office, the air pollution index grew up from 1.5 to 4.3 during the last ten years.
