The General Prosecutor’s Office will audit KazZinc LLP to assess compliance with environmental laws following significant air pollution in Ust-Kamenogorsk from November 23 to December 1, 2024. The audit will involve experts from the Environmental Regulation and Control Committee.
The regional roadmap for 2024-2026 includes measures to reduce harmful emissions by 10-20%. Key initiatives include upgrading sulfur gas treatment systems at KazZinc’s metallurgical complex, projected to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by 2,200 tons by 2026. Despite these plans, air quality in the city remains a critical concern.
