“…CEC values below 1 indicate that the exposure level is below the reference dose, and therefore it can be assumed that the daily intake reflected in the results does not cause any adverse health effects in people during their lifetime. This suggests that the current level of pollution of fish with pollutants is not significant in terms of potential harm to human health 22) .…”

The aim of the work was to measure the concentration of organochlorine insecticides, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons from the oil series in samples of marine fish from diverse oceans in the region. To achieve the goal, the methods of high-performance liquid chromatography and atomic absorption spectrometry, as well as the statistical method, were used. A total of 250 marine fish samples collected from the Caspian, Black, Baltic, Azov, and Okhotsk seas were analysed. The results of the study showed significant concentrations of organochlorine pesticides, including isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), in fish living in the Caspian, Black and Baltic Seas. Specifically, the Caspian Sea is found to have the highest HCH content of 0.2123 mg/kg, while the Black Sea and Baltic Sea show 0.2031 mg/kg and 0.0187 mg/kg respectively. Heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and chromium (Cr) have also been found in fish samples. A comparative analysis of the content of pollutants in marine fish of the Eurasian region allows to draw the following conclusions: in fish living in the Caspian, Black and Baltic seas, there is a high concentration of organochlorine pesticides, heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons. This indicates significant pollution of the marine ecosystem by these substances. These studies highlight the need to control pollution of marine fish with pollutants and monitor the state of marine ecosystems to ensure the safety of fish consumption and public health.

“…They will also help prevent disregard for environmental safety by other entities. The proposed idea shares similarities with this study as it pertains to the upgrading of the mechanism for training and developing professional personnel in the field of monitoring water resource management (Gudkov et al, 2017). The implementation of the described approaches can be effective if inspectors comply with their mission in accordance with the prevention of criminal offenses against the environment (Bolat, 2020).…”

The protection of the environment and its elements is the responsibility of modern society for the possibility of its development in the future. That is why the issues of protection of this category of relations are relevant today in the legal plane. It is important to establish not only an effective mechanism for punishing the guilty but also for preventing the commission of criminal offenses against natural objects. The purpose of the study is to identify effective approaches for the prevention of crimes related to the use of water bodies. In the study, the methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, deduction, generalization, formal legal, and abstraction were applied. As a result, it was possible to determine that the current state of water bodies in Kazakhstan is deteriorating, so they may be at a crisis level in the future. In view of this, the paper investigated the composition of a criminal offense related to the illegal use of water bodies. This made it possible to determine the current position of the legislator on the regulation of this issue in the legal dimension. In addition, the methods and tools that are used in Kazakhstan to prevent the spread of this type of criminal offense were established. Based on this, their shortcomings were analyzed, and proposals were developed to improve the process of preventing such crimes. Therefore, the place of environmental crimes in the modern criminal law doctrine was determined, and international experience in preventing such offenses was considered. The practical value of the findings is the possibility of using them to develop new national strategies and programs aimed at countering crimes in the field of water use.

“…In technological terms, the most important part of plants are roots. They absorb toxically contaminated compounds along with the organic soil [33]. The roots release exudates into the rhizosphere, which, along with intracellular enzymes of the root system, facilitate the primary transformation of toxic compounds in the soil and water [34].…”

Significant environmental concerns are raised by heavy metal pollution in soils, particularly in areas like South Kazakhstan where hazardous materials have accumulated as a result of human activities including mining, industry, and agriculture. This paper presents theoretical and experimental findings regarding the phytoremediation potential of sowing peas (Pisum sativum) in the grey soils of South Kazakhstan. Special attention is paid to the determination of gross concentrations of various forms of copper, nickel, and cobalt in the initial and remediated soils. The methodology basis for the study were chemical phase analysis, atomic absorption spectrometry, and X-ray electron microscopy to assess heavy metal levels in soils and plant samples. It was established that in the arid climate of Southern Kazakhstan, the upper layers of the soil up to 40 cm contain the highest concentration of heavy metal ions. The findings of the study will allow predicting the effectiveness of phytoremediation measures. The study suggests that sowing peas have potential for phytoremediation due to their ability to accumulate heavy metals in their root systems and biomass. It highlights the potential of phytoextraction techniques, which involve growing metal-accumulating plants in polluted soils and processing the harvested biomass to recover absorbed metals.
