Karagandy is on the 23rd place in the world ranking of cities with air pollution. This became known as a result of research conducted by the Swiss air quality control company IQAIR, the national portal "Adyrna" reported.

Data for 2022 was published on March 14. Karagandy is among the 50 cities with the most polluted air in the world. It is even on par with the cities of India, and it is considered the dirtiest country.

According to information, air pollution index in Karagandy is 77.8. In 2021, it will be 75.5, and within one year this indicator has increased significantly.

IQAIR measures air quality by counting harmful waste and particles. And the WHO says that its concentration in the air should not exceed 10 micrograms per cubic meter on average.

It should be noted that the level of air pollution in Kazakhstan worsened last year. As a result of the research, these indicators exceeded the permissible world standards by three times.
