Kazakhstan air quality today The AQI right now, city by city

Right now the 23 cities Airleaf measures in Kazakhstan average AQI 34 (good). The worst air is in Karagandy, at AQI 151, and the cleanest in Almaty, at AQI 30. At ground stations alone, which measure rather than estimate, the average is AQI 90 across 3 cities. 4% of the 23 measured cities are over AQI 100 today, where the air stops being fine for sensitive groups, and 83% have Good air.

Karagandy, at AQI 151 (Unhealthy) on the US EPA index. Everyone should limit long outdoor exertion; sensitive groups more so.

Almaty, at AQI 30 (Good). Both lists rank current readings, from ground stations wherever Kazakhstan has at least three cities with one.

It depends on the city. 19 cities are Good, 3 cities are Moderate, 1 city is Unhealthy. At the national average of AQI 34: Air quality is satisfactory for everyone.

About 90,400 ha from 2001 to 2025, 2% of the forest it had in 2000, from the University of Maryland's yearly satellite maps of forest loss. 3,600 ha of it was cleared for good, for farms, mines or towns.

Almaty, with 37.0% tree cover within 2 km of its center, measured from Sentinel-2 satellite images.

Each city's reading is the US EPA air quality index, from ground monitoring stations where one has reported recently nearby, and from the CAMS atmospheric model elsewhere; each city's report says which. Tree cover is measured over the same 2 km radius in every city, so the cities compare like for like.
