Military program
Environmental impact of specific activities of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The problems of environmental security military activities remain relevant. Insufficient funding for construction, renovation and reconstruction of environmental facilities in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan can not adequately address the problem of reducing the negative impact on the environment.
Boiler rooms, on the balance of military units are not equipped with environmental protection devices and throw away without treatment in air pollutants.
Acute problem of environmental pollution resulting from untreated and inadequately treated sewage into water bodies. Significant amount of technology parks are not equipped with washing items with systems using water recycling, which leads to permanent contamination of soil, surface water and groundwater. Not solved the problem of equipping parks equipment monitoring devices toxicity and opacity of exhaust gases.
There is a problem of placement of solid waste in illegal dumps.
Territory of the disbanded and redeployed military units are contaminated with debris, scrap, solid waste and petroleum products. For the environmentally harmful effects of military activities include land contamination with oil products as a result of economic activities of previous years, the most characteristic areas airfields, depots and bases of fuel and lubricants, oil-fired boiler farms using liquid boiler fuel.
In the operation of rocket and space technology specific exposures are the earth's surface, surface and ground water, vegetation, living organisms, the atmosphere, including ozone layer, and near-Earth space. Found long-term contamination of the environment in places of storage of weapons.
The activities of armed forces and ecological consequences.
Movement of armed forces in connection with military operations:
1. The destruction of soil, destruction of flora and fauna, the emergence of foci of local pollution of soil and surface waters.
2. Military engineers working on construction of defensive and other objects, placement of military equipment:
Changing the terrain, the formation of artificial cavities and dumps, soil deterioration, destruction of vegetation, changing water and air regime of soils.
3. Temporary or permanent deployment of the armed forces:
• Violation of land cover, vegetation destruction, deforestation, pollution of soil and surface water.
• Changing the conditions of soil and vegetation.
4. Military action:
• the destruction of the enemy, its military technology, defense installations, depots, etc.;
• the destruction or the destruction of economic facilities, infrastructure, natural objects.
The destruction of soil and vegetation cover, loss of fauna, biodiversity loss, reduction in the number of microorganisms, deformation and increase the density of soil, changing the properties of soils and rocks, the destruction of forests, air and water pollution. Accumulation of heavy metals, leaching of soils and depletion, increased water turbidity, salinity, water logging, increase in landslides, the development of gully networks, and desertification.
Severity and specificity of environmental problems associated with the activities of the power unit Sun RK, requires the coordination of executive authorities of Kazakhstan, the subjects RK, Su RK and other troops, military formations and bodies in the sphere of relations connected with environmental protection.
