Activists do not trust official information about air quality in Almaty

Almaty. February 13. KazTAG - Activists do not trust the official information about air quality in Almaty, said Berik Kaniyev and Alexey Li, co-founders of AirVision.kz fund.
"Today Almaty has no full monitoring of air quality, the data differ. Public activists do not trust the information of the state bodies. In order to resolve this situation, jointly with the partners from the civil society and state sector we want to create a uniform system whose conclusions will be legitimate for all the parties," said Alexey Li.
“We are going to help the colleagues involved in economic monitoring to partially fund the initiatives of Pavel Alexandrov (AirKaz.org), AUAGroup. You can often hear reproaches to the quality of the sensors that AirKaz.org uses. Therefore, we will probably help him to check them, so that the data does not cause any doubts. In general, the cost of creating a reliable monitoring network, according to preliminary estimates, may amount to hundreds of millions tenge. Therefore, we appeal to the business community to support our initiative, because we all breathe the same air in Almaty, ” said Berik Kaniyev.
