The implementation of the republican program "Taza Kazakhstan" continues in Almaty, within the framework of which the Clean Air campaign is taking place. This initiative is aimed at combating air pollution from motor vehicles, which is one of the main sources of toxic emissions in megacities.As part of the campaign, during the period from October 30 to November 8 of this year, together with employees of the Police Department, 882 cars were checked at mobile environmental posts located both in the city center and on its outskirts. The main purpose is to monitor the level of toxicity and smokiness of vehicle exhaust gases. This is especially important in Almaty, where motor transport accounts for a significant part of the polluting factors.The monitoring results showed that 45% of the tested cars, namely 398, do not meet environmental standards, their emissions exceed acceptable standards. This highlights the need to strengthen control and increase the environmental responsibility of car owners.In this regard, administrative protocols were drawn up against violators.
