Areas with High Pollution Levels

In addition to the top four, nine other locations experienced "high" levels of air pollution. These include Atyrau, Oskemen, Ridder, Temirtau, Pavlodar, Turkistan, and the settlements of Shubarshy and Kyzylsai. This widespread pollution highlights the need for targeted environmental interventions.

Elevated Pollution in Major Cities
