- current issues:
- radioactive or toxic chemical sites associated with its former defense industries and test ranges are found throughout the country and pose health risks for humans and animals;
- industrial pollution is severe in some cities;
- because the two main rivers which flowed into the Aral Sea have been diverted for irrigation, it is drying up and leaving behind a harmful layer of chemical pesticides and natural salts;
- these substances are then picked up by the wind and blown into noxious dust storms;
- pollution in the Caspian Sea;
- soil pollution from overuse of agricultural chemicals and salinization from faulty irrigation practices
- natural hazards:
- NA
- international agreements:
- party to - Biodiversity,
