Abstract

The paper describes specific aspects concerning creation and implementation of Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) in the Republic of Kazakhstan, RPTR is known as a database on emissions and transfer of potentially hazardous chemicals. The legal basis for its creation is provided by the Protocol on Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers adopted by the Aarhus Convention in 2003, which obliges signatory countries to develop and implement a national register in an easily accessible format. The protocol covers 64 kinds of causing pollution sources of activities grouped by branches of industry and 86 pollutants and groups of hazardous substances. The integral parts of the State Pollutant Release and Transfer Register of the Republic of Kazakhstan are analyzed, the steps required for its implementation and the preliminary work carried out for successful operation of the PRTR system are highlighted. Particular attention is paid to the list of pollutants that should be included into PRTR reports of natural resource users of the country. The PRTR is going to be placed on the Internet portal and will be available on free for all interested parties.
