Abstract

In the course of carrying out a comprehensive assessment of the state of the environment and health of the population of the city of Kentau and adjacent territories, a study of the mutagenic activity of drinking water and soil samples taken in the territory of Kentau and adjacent settlements, the background territory and the comparison territory was carried out. In the course of the study, it was revealed that individual samples of drinking water and water extracts of soils cause a significant increase in the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in the cultures of human peripheral blood lymphocytes and in the Allium-test. Analysis of the total mutagenic activity of the samples under study indicates the absence of a fundamentally contaminated and/or clean territory in the studied region, which indicates their general contamination with a tendency to increase contamination in some places.

Highlights

In some regions of Kazakhstan, due to human production and economic activities, as well as the influence of socio-economic factors, changes in the environment have acquired the character of an ecological catastrophe
The city of Kentau and the adjacent settlements are located in the Turkestan region at a distance of about 30 km. from the city of Turkestan at the foot of the Karatau ridge
The purpose of this study was to assess the mutagenic activity of drinking water and soil samples taken on the territory of Kentau and adjacent settlements, the reference area and the comparison territory

Summary

Introduction

In some regions of Kazakhstan, due to human production and economic activities, as well as the influence of socio-economic factors, changes in the environment have acquired the character of an ecological catastrophe. Such ecologically unfavorable regions, first of all, include East Kazakhstan, Semipalatinsk and Aral. The city of Kentau and the adjacent settlements are located in the Turkestan region at a distance of about 30 km. The city of Kentau and adjacent settlements are located in close proximity to the ecologically unfavorable territories of the Aral region.
