According to “Ecolog”, the population of Astana has increased by three times during the last ten years. Sadybek Tursunov, the deputy of Mazhilis, a chair of the commission after human rights, in his first speech to the Government said that ecological problems of Astana must stay on a foreground. He mentioned that population of Astana has already reached 1 000 000 people and this fact, of course, had an effect on the ecological situation of the city. The arisen situation of constantly increasing population in Astana leads to an increase in the number of cars on the roads and, of course, becomes the core of the biggest environmental problems in the capital. Referring to recent statistical data the average number of cars in Astana in 2007, in comparison with 2000, rouses by 5 times and reached 200 thousand (Shimanskiy, 2008).

There is no doubt that this fact has affected the ecology of the city, especially in two ways: air and water pollution.

Referring to the statistics given by public prosecution office, the air pollution index grew up from 1.5 to 4.3 during the last ten years. A bit later Karzhaspaev mentioned a stunning number of the same index which considerably increased during the last 4 months in 2008 and reached its peak of 9.31 units. (Shimanskiy, 2008) It is not difficult to imagine what will happen with the ecological situation of Astana if trends of pollution are the same.
