Enterprises of Issyk-Kul province emit over 3,000 tonnes of contaminants 

About 15 enterprises, operating in Issyk-Kul province, emit more than 3, 000 tones of contaminants, head of the Agriculture and Industry Complex Department of the Government's Office Samir Osmonaliyev stated today at a visiting session of Respublika parliamentary faction.

According to him, there are 23 boiler facilities in the province and 18 of them operate, using solid fuel and 5 - liquid fuel. "Motor transport, the quantity of which is extremely growing in tourist season, has the worst influence on the atmosphere. In order to reduce air pollution in the province it is necessary to actively introduce alternative energy sources and provide for a gradual switch to solar heating systems in resort complexes," Samir Osmonaliyev said.

He noted that forest plantations and nurseries areas are constantly increasing. Forestry enterprises of Issyk-Kul province annually increase forest areas by 500 hectares.
