World’s worst air in Kyrgyz capital Bishkek | DW News

Smoke weed every day

The smoke from cars not from coal heating plants. You showing is evaporation of water

Yeah, we have this 😅

Awful!

My apartment is right next to that thing
😆

Ulaan Baator in Mongolia is about the same. Some hotels don't give you control of the room temp and when you open the window to let some cool air in you just about choke. So it's either bake or choke. But you definitely don't want to walk around outside.

Y'all it only happens once in a year. People are using gas in a wrong way so this happens every year

Мы номер 1 ✊🏿😎

This is piisdes bilyat




😕

We are just hiding.

Today I returned from Bishkek to Osh city

Biskek

I am from Bishkek, That is true

Dear global citizens did your city had a smog before and what you did to stop it ? Or maybe you have idea how to make clear air ?
Your opinion is important for me. Thank you for your kind answer 🙏

My pity country Kyrgyzstan, when will you grow up, develop :(, number 1 in the world from air pollution :(. I hope for bright future.🤲🇰🇬

Кто после Злого

Революция митинг пикет боюнча да 1орундабыз.Пенсияны болок олко толойт.Мамлекет барбы озу бизде?

Private houses use not only coal but rubber, plastic and different sorts of garbage for heating up. There is another source of pollution: cars. More and more people in Bishkek buy cars, mostly ones produced in 1990's and 2000's and use petrol of poor quality.

В городе где нет ни заводов ни фабрик, такое количество загрязнения воздуха это п****ц.... Последствия всего этого предстоит увидеть через несколько лет когда массово возрастут заболевания у горожан!

Let me try to explain the situation as someone who lives in Bishkek. Bishkek is surrounded by residential areas where most of the people burn coal in the winter. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, people just started to move to Bishkek and turn lands around the small city into residential areas. Urbanization process, you know. Reason: unemployment. The city council did not have any plans to build infrastructure (roads, parks, sewage system, heating system etc) in these areas. The city just watched and didn't help at all in many cases. I am talking about dozens of residential areas. What can people do? They just build sewage systems, make roads, draw electricity etc to improve their habitat on their own. But building a centralized heating system is too expensive for them. So the government failed to foresee that this was inevitable. What can we do? Use the Russian gas that costs around 25 cents per cubic meter and spend all the monthly income on heating the house. Building a centralized heating system is not an option because these areas do not have flats, but single houses. Tens thousands of them.
So Europeans, bring to our country some good ideas and technology to solve the issue! :)😁😁 But make sure you avoid our corrupt government. 🤣🤣🤣

Не деп атат

Deuche Welle forgot to mention that 75% of smog comes from old used cars, imported from Germany and other developed countries. Especially old diesel Mersedes minibuses which are used as public transportation. Kyrgyzstan must ban imports of old cars!

Нам жопа

It is because govt. provided home-heating service is very costly and that is why people use alternative methods which comes at fraction of its cost.

Good reporting, thumbs up

Я здесь живу 😭

If this is the example of worst air quality in Bishkek
than what would you like to say about the air quality of Delhi with 29 million residents??

Kabul must be the most polluted city. With a population of around 4 millions and very weak medical infrastructure, it is dangerous.

Некачественный уголь, выбросы с авто, и прочее... Скоро все нормалезуется когда газафикация с России пойдет в каждый дом.

Very good channel! All words in this video is true!
I'm from Kyrgyzstan.
And all information in this video trustable

Well.....it’s almost the same in Taiwan , Kaohsiung in winter. And more pathetic thing here is no one cares. Neither government nor citizen

Damn didn't feel any for 2 years there .

Can't Adani...Ambani Invest also here & try & save the earth from getting polluted as well as do good business....

You cant see a good size chuck of China from space year round. Because all of the poison they pump out. DW and the other climate nuts jobs wont even admit it or call China out for "Killing" the planet. But they'll call other country's out.
Also the climate not jobs. "Like those poor people should just freeze to death. How dear them using the affordable option to keep them selves alive."

I live here. Such an honor!

You guys really really need to come to Serbia. We only have clear air when Gods of Wind decide to bless us.

Me in Bishkek: [chuckles] I’m in danger

Me: laughs in new Delhi

It's called an inversion layer, the smoke is just trapped in the lower atmosphere.

Salt lake City looks just like that during the winter

Please, DW come to Almaty! You will see even more polluted city in that region.

And to think they are not too far from Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan which have huge gas deposits.

Is this also Putin's fault?

I Love DW and appreciate every video, but this one lacks something. You talk about pollution, price of coal but you do not give any number to make us understand the extent of the issue.

I and family cook with coals quite frequently, it is to some degree healthy brushing in small quantities. Maybe chips or smaller doses until things can be taken care of may reduce the health risk?

Let’s cancel humanity

This was an interesting news piece. I hope they find a solution

I can't believe it's not Sarajevo.
