Abstract
The article is devoted to spatial analysis of atmospheric pollutions in the West Kazakhstan region. Changes are observed in the structure of air pollution, which is associated with an increase in production, the share of transport, and the construction of new industries. However, in terms of types of economic activity, the main share belongs to industry. It has been established that the main pollutants of the atmosphere are the oil and gas, energy sectors, as well as transport. Research shows that the regions of the territorial distribution of industrial facilities and the region of social activity (Burli, Baiterek, Uralsk) have the greatest anthropogenic impact on the atmosphere. Purification of atmospheric air from harmful impurities, primarily solid particles, is partially carried out only in these zones, while in other areas of the region there are no treatment plants. The above-mentioned northern areas of the industrial zone of the region are characterized by high values of calculated air pollution coefficients. In contrast, in the Akzhaik, Karatobinsky, Zhanibek and Bokeyordinsky districts, the indicated indicators are minimal, which indicates a significant inequality in the distribution of atmospheric pollution. The completed work is the basis for an in-depth analysis of the assessment of atmospheric air quality in the industrial-agrarian center.
