Analyst notes · written against the modeled baselineHigh
Karaganda steel-belt particulate load
Temirtau and the Karaganda industrial cluster are driving the highest sustained PM and SO₂ load in the network. Continuous-monitoring retrofits modeled to cut exceedance hours by a third.
Watch
Aral dust season intensifying
Seabed dust index up 18% over Kyzylorda as the dry season sets in. Salt-laden PM10 transport projected to reach lower Syr Darya settlements within days — issue respiratory advisories.
Positive
Northern oblast air corridor clearing
Kokshetau, Petropavl and Kostanay show the strongest sustained air-quality improvement as the heating season ends — the clearest positive signal nationwide.
