Often, such tests were conducted without evacuating or even alerting the local population. Although nuclear testing was halted in 1990, radiation poisoning, birth defects, severe anemia, and leukemia are very common in the area
Heath impact ( Batish)
More than 1 million of Kazakhstan’s inhabitants were exposed to dangerous levels of radiation because the Soviet government did not evacuate or even warn nearby populations.  One of every three children born in the Semipalatinsk region has mental or physical defects, and about half the population suffers from immune system deficiencies.
Actions taken against ( Dariga)
In the late 1980s Kazakhs held large demonstrations calling for an end to the nuclear testing, and in 1991 the government of Kazakhstan put a stop to the practice. The Nevada-Semipalatinsk Organization, which led the campaign against nuclear testing during the 1980s, has turned its attention to teaching residents of polluted areas how to avoid nuclear contamination]]> 2020-09-09 06:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/adamovaaysulu/avhf6bcshzhalr8h/wish/730109400 Soil protection https://padlet.com/adamovaaysulu/avhf6bcshzhalr8h/wish/730109990 Ways to protect soil:
1.  Crop Rotation
is a tool that enables farmers to increase soil organic matter content, soil structure and rooting depth
2. Cover Cropping and Mulching
are effective at reducing soil erosion by leaving a cover over the soil
3.  Conservation Tillage
is field operations aimed at preserving soil aggregates, organic matter and surface residue from previous crops. ]]> 2020-09-09 06:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/adamovaaysulu/avhf6bcshzhalr8h/wish/730109990 Future of Aral https://padlet.com/adamovaaysulu/avhf6bcshzhalr8h/wish/730112170 Reasons to shrink: sharply increased irrigation and other demands on the only significant tributaries, the Syrdariya and the Amu Darya.
A much greater agricultural impact, however, has come from the salt- and pesticide-laden soil
Example: By 1993 the Aral Sea had lost an estimated 60 percent of its volume.
Consequences: Increasing salinity and reduced habitat have killed the Aral Sea's fish, destroying fishing industry. Depletion has increased tempreture in the region, which had a bad impact on agriculture. The Aral Sea crisis is also associated with a number of health problems, including respiratory infections and parasitic diseases.]]> 2020-09-09 06:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/adamovaaysulu/avhf6bcshzhalr8h/wish/730112170 soil protection https://padlet.com/adamovaaysulu/avhf6bcshzhalr8h/wish/730120391 Soil pollution from overuse of agricultural chemicals and salination from poor infrastructure and wasteful irrigation practices.
solutions:
1. Instead of throwing it in the garbage, consider investing in a compost system! Composting can return nutrients in food back to nature.
2. sustainable forest management. Without the protection of the trees, the land becomes dry and starts to erode
3. proper waste disposal.

Water pollution is a main environmental problem in this area. . Organic and inorganic substances such as nitrogen, phosphorus, pesticides, and phenols are discharged into the river. About 150,000 tons of toxic chemicals have contaminated the water in the last 10 years and continue to pollute soil and water supplies .
According to the local scientists, water quality started to change in the 1970s in parallel with environmental degradation in Karakalpakstan. The change in water quality in the Aral Sea basin reduced the number of fish in the river and in the sea, and destroyed most of fauna (2,3).

Rest assured your money will be put to good use. 2)Plant more native plants around your area. This will help preserve the natural habitat of nearby animals. 3)As much as possible, avoid using pesticides or fertilisers that contain chemicals. https://padlet.com/adamovaaysulu/avhf6bcshzhalr8h/wish/730127733 Government actions:
1)Environmental international agreements: party to: Air Pollution, Biodiversity, Climate Change, Desertification, Endangered Species.
2) Funds are allowed to save environment and other countries also help with this issue. For example, the United States Environmental Protection Agency agreed to give Kazakhstan US$62 million to help the country overcome ecological problems.
3)In 2007 on January 7 was adopted the "The Environmental Code of Republic Kazakhstan"]]> 2020-09-09 06:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/adamovaaysulu/avhf6bcshzhalr8h/wish/730127733 Protection of water https://padlet.com/adamovaaysulu/avhf6bcshzhalr8h/wish/730130670 In order to protect water from pollution we should reduce the main factors, that cause water pollution. First of all, we should filter all the wastes from various factories, which merge waste products into the water. Then, government and oil producting companies must nullify the cases of oil leaking. Soil erosion is also affects the water ecosystem, so that using different chemicals and toxic substances in order to make plants more persistant, should be minimised. ]]> 2020-09-09 06:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/adamovaaysulu/avhf6bcshzhalr8h/wish/730130670
