Atmospheric air pollution from the Karaganda coal basin operating mines

The continued growth of coal production in the Karaganda coal basin induces the intensity of air pollution and affects to the deterioration of living conditions. The article presents air pollution spatial distribution analysis based on the mining stock specific technological characteristics study, which helped to identify areas of maximum air pollution risk for the environment and population.
