The quality of atmospheric air in the city of Almaty is one of the pressing environmental issues. In
recent years, air quality has deteriorated due to the continuous development of the economy, population
growth, and increased traffic congestion, all of which contribute to higher emissions of pollutants into
the atmosphere. The geographical features of the city, particularly its surrounding mountain ranges and
frequent air stagnation, lead to the accumulation of harmful substances in the air. Air pollution is a
major factor affecting the health of city residents. Analyzing air quality across the city is essential for
protecting public health, assessing the environmental situation, and determining pollution levels. This
article discusses the importance of using digital resources in the process of assessing and monitoring air
quality in Almaty. Today, online platforms and mobile applications such as AirKz, IQAir, and
AirVisual are widely used to determine air pollution levels. The study analyzes the effectiveness of
these resources, the accuracy of the data they provide, and their role in the environmental monitoring
system. From March 1 to March 10, 2025, observations were conducted on air pollutants in the city, and
the air quality index was analyzed by district. The level of air pollution in the districts of Almaty was
presented in a comparative manner, and the most problematic areas were identified. The study examined
key atmospheric pollutants – carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂),
particulate matter (PM-2.5, PM-10), and ozone (O₃). The sources and health risks of fine particulate
matter PM-2.5 of anthropogenic origin were also described. This research substantiates the need for
effective use of digital resources to improve Almaty’s environmental conditions and protect public
health.
