The content of heavy metals in environment of tailing dumps in Kyrgyzstan

One of the acute problems of Kyrgyzstan is the possible pollution of the environment around the tailings. The object of this study is tailings. The content of heavy metals around tailings was studied. For the study, samples were taken of soil, water and plants of the village of Min-Kush, Jumgal region, Ak-Tyuz Kemin district, tailings in Mailuu-Suu. Methods: spectrographic method, statistical and analytical. As a result, data were obtained confirming the presence of heavy metals in the study area. The concentration of metals varies and depends on the distance from the source of pollution. The greatest interest for the study is the content of heavy metals in the village, located near the mine. In conclusion, the conclusion is made about the need for continuous monitoring of heavy metals and the development of measures to protect the population.
