94 National Map


There are number of third party portals/projects (such as http://map.kz/) that show the information about national map, however, we could not find any evidences that they have been commissioned by government. Country has extremely large area, but very few populated areas and population density is one of the lowest, so the provision of such service could be very expensive and take a lot of time/effort.

79 Pollutant Emissions


No data is available online for air pollution but it seem the data is Measured -no pm data Exist so the data is Considered non-existent http://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/env/epr/epr_studies/kazakhstan.pdf

The four basic pollutants (SO2, CO, NO2 and dust) are monitored, as are some site-specific pollutants such as heavy metals, HF, HCl, NH3, arsine, phenol, formaldehyde and chlorine. There are no ground-level ozone monitoring data available. Data on lead and other heavy metals as well as benzo(a)pyrene, which were monitored regularly in the past, are scarce at present. No information on PM 10 or PM 2.5 is available. Air quality is assessed according to the so-called IZA5 indexes, which record the exceeding of maximum permissible concentrations (MPCs) of five representative pollutants, together with their toxicity classes. The air is considered polluted, if this index is higher than 5. As shown in table 4.6, air quality has improved slightly in recent years, but still needs to be improved in most cities. Moreover, due to a lack of money monitoring has suffered some inconsistency over the past years, reducing the number of monitoring sites as well as the number of monitored pollutants. The indexes are therefore not always calculated from the same set of pollutants, and this may result in inconsistency. For example, if in Almaty benzo(a)pyrene, also in the highest toxicity class, was included in calculations of the IZA5 index, it would amount to 54. When benzo(a)pyrene was no longer measured, the value of the index fell, but this does not necessarily mean that air quality in fact improved.
