During the meeting of the Agrarian Committee of the Jogorku Kenesh, the director of the National Institute of Public Health, Jarkynbek Kasymbekov, reported that no research has been conducted in Kyrgyzstan regarding the impact of smog on citizens' health.
Nevertheless, he emphasized that international studies confirm that smog is a factor contributing to the increase in respiratory diseases.
“In our country, in particular, there has been a 2.5-fold increase in cases of allergic rhinitis among children,” he added.
