Adverse climatic and anthropogenic factors can affect the health of people living near the dried-up Aral Sea. There was modified the comprehensive assessment of inorganic chemical pollution of the environment of the village in the Zhosaly Kyzylorda region of Kazakhstan. The comprehensive assessment score included 5 categories: satisfactory, intense, critical, crisis, catastrophic. According to own research over 2014-2015 based on the mentioned assessment score, the comprehensive assessment score amounted to 41 points and showed a critical situation. In the air, there was observed the phenol content of 1.02 MAC, suspended solids - 0.5 MAC. The main part of the fine suspended solids sized of 1.5-2.5 mm, round shape, was formed in the process of condensation and evaporation of the sea and the Syr Darya River. In the dust, there was found the excess in silicon content of 2.8 MAC, iron - 1.3 MAC, zinc 1.1 MAC. As soil pollutants, there were detected sulfates - of 173.5 MAC, chlorides - 9.0 MAC, mercury - 0.56 MAC, nickel - 0.49 MAC. In drinking water, there was revealed cadmium excess of 1.3 MAC, nickel - 1.2 MAC, chlorides - 1.25 MPC, sulfates - 1.0 MAC. In the water of the Syr Darya River, there was revealed an excess in nickel - of 2.2 MAC, sulfates - 1.8 MAC, dissolved oxygen - 2.0 MAC. In the sediments of the Syr Darya river, the sulfate content accounted for 3.36 MAC and chlorides - 1.53 MAC. In the snow cover there was revealed an excess of manganese - 5.14MPC, chromium - 2.04 MAC, zinc - 1.2 MAC. In a critical situation a significant portion (30-50%) of the population may be in a state of exertion and adaptation surge, and the most susceptible part seems to be in a state of adaptation failure, characterized by an increase in incidence rate.
On the territory of Kazakhstan there are uranium deposits, many ofwhich are in mothballed since times of perestroika. Often, the mines are flooded and represent a “time-delay bomb”. Inside of mines various there are accumulated gases of both organic and inorganic nature, periodically thrown out and adversely affecting on the health of local populations. The aim of the study was the investigation of the state of the environment of Esilsky district of the Akmola region by common pollutants and chemicals. As the basic variable for the investigation of ambient air there was accepted the maximum one-time concentration of suspended substances, phenol, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide. The results were evaluated in relation to the MPC for the analyzed substance in the air according to maximal single MPC (MPCms) and daily average MPC (MPCda). The content of metals in the water was determined with the use of spectrophotometer PD-303S. Evaluation of the results was executed in relation of the MPC of substances in water, by means of the comparison with the requirements of Federal standards for drinking water, samples from drinking water sources. There were executed calculations of the overall index of water pollution (IWVgen), the index of water pollution by heavy metals (IWVhm). Chemical analysis of soil was carried out with the use of spectrophotometer PD- 303S (Japan), the photometer expert-003 “Ekoniks”. Evaluation of the results was carried out with the respect to the MPC in the soil, the toxicity of all components. Summarizing soil pollution index was evaluated for metals contained in the soil at the level of more than or equal to 1 MAC. The settlement Krasnogorskiy and the village of Kalachi were found to be characterized by a low level of air pollution, increased rigidity of drinking water exceeded the maximum permissible concentrations of copper by 3.45 times and chloride by 1.17 times in the soil cover.
The ecological and hygienic assessment of environmental areas adjacent to the zones of anthropogenic exposure in the cold season of the year. As the object of research there was chosen ecologically unfavorable Aral Sea region -settlement Aiteke bi in the - Kyzylorda region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The aim of research was to identify chemical pollutants in the environment of the settlement of Aiteke Bi. During the execution of the study there was used a complex of modern certified ecological-hygienic, chemical-analytical and static methods of the analysis (photoionizing, electrochemical, optical, photometric, complexonometric, weight, titrimetric). Results of the study of ambient air showed the excess of the concentration of suspended particulate matter 1.78 MPC daily averages, the value of Air Pollution Index (API ) was low (API4= 1.3 c.u.). The quantitative chemical analysis of drinking water showed the presence of low concentrations of heavy metals: cadmium - 0,3MPC, nickel - 0.5MPC, iron - 0.4MPC, zinc - 0.6MPC, cobalt - 0.4MPC (water pollution index (WPI)= 0.2 cu), clean water is of quality class 2. There was revealed a low level of soil contamination (Zc =0.1 c.u.), however, observed in all samples there were noted excesses of sulfate MPC (by to 193.8 times) and chlorides (3.9 times). Concentrations of polluting chemicals discovered in the total territory of the settlement of Aiteke bi are related to the activity of more than twenty-one companies producing oxygen, building materials, metal plastic products, executing the exploration and production of minerals. Each out of the identified chemical impurities is widely used in manufacturing, thereby is accumulated in the environment and easily gets into the body with both food and water, and via air inhalation. There is observed a chronic intake of chemical contaminants.
