Abstract

Since the first quarter of the 20th century, as a result of the progress of production technologies, the negative impact of humanity on the environment has increased several times. As a result of world globalization, the population is increasing, the amount of arable land is increasing due to the need for food, and the land is becoming depleted and saline due to the cultivation of crops. Plants, grain products, cotton products, etc. b. Pesticides are used to rid plants of pests and weeds. Pesticides (Latin pestis “infecting” and caedo “killing”) are chemical substances: nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, etc. are toxic substances that to some extent affect air pollution. Amid this sadness, the air problem has become a global environmental problem in the world as well as in Kyrgyzstan over the past five years. The city of Bishkek is one of the five largest cities for air pollution during the winter heating season. From 2010 to 2019, 4,100-5,000 deaths due to air pollution were recorded in Kyrgyzstan. The accumulation of nitrogen dioxide in the air causes respiratory diseases, namely asthma, lung cancer, and heart disease. Air pollution increases the risk of premature birth, infant mortality or impaired lung function, cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurological diseases. To protect the health of Bishkek residents, experts recommend improving the quality of heating systems
