Abstract: Environmental pollution in Kyrgyzstan is one of the most pressing environmental problems that have a serious impact on the health of the population, the economy and the ecosystem of the country. The main sources of pollution are emissions from industry, transport, and the use of coal for heating in winter. The level of air pollution is especially critical in large cities such as Bishkek, where in winter the concentration of harmful particles in the air exceeds the permissible standards. This leads to an increase in the number of respiratory diseases, allergies and cardiovascular diseases among the population. Pollution of water resources and soil, as well as improper waste disposal, are also serious problems. To combat these challenges, steps are being taken to improve air quality, switch to renewable energy sources, and improve transport infrastructure. International cooperation and external financing play an important role in solving environmental problems, which opens up new opportunities for the development of environmentally friendly technologies and projects. The article examines the sources of pollution, health consequences, and proposed measures to improve the environmental situation in Kyrgyzstan.
