Abstract

Environmental pollution remains a critical global issue, with effects manifesting at various scales—from local to global. In particular, the Bukhara region faces significant environmental challenges due to pollution of air, water, soil, and waste management. This study aims to address environmental pollution specifically in the Bukhara region by identifying key local and regional challenges and proposing practical solutions to mitigate these issues. The study employs a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including environmental assessments and stakeholder interviews. It reviews existing data on pollution sources and impact in the Bukhara region and examines case studies of successful pollution control measures. Key findings reveal that pollution in the Bukhara region significantly impacts public health and local ecosystems. Air and water quality are particularly affected, with notable pollution sources including industrial emissions and inadequate waste management. The study identifies several effective strategies implemented in similar contexts that could be adapted for the Bukhara region. Addressing environmental pollution in the Bukhara region requires a multifaceted approach involving local and regional strategies. The findings highlight the need for improved pollution control measures, enhanced regulatory frameworks, and community engagement. Implementing these solutions could significantly mitigate environmental impacts and contribute to sustainable development in the region.
