The region of Central Asia suffers from ecological disasters on a vast scale with many more occurrences threatened. The extent of anthropogenic factors of influence on environmental degradation directly affects the scale of the damage. Further, the more extensive the territory impacted, the greater the ecological threat, even encroaching upon adjacent States. The regions of the Tien-Shan mountain range are among those areas especially endangered by ecological threats. Using advanced methods of measurement, scientists have investigated numerous issues: water ecosystems, the impact of radioactive wastes on the environment, pollution of rivers, the hydropower energy system, and glacial degradation.
