Свинец и его соединения чрезвычайно часто применяются в пищевой, лакокрасочной промышленности и для изготовления игрушек. Это ставит под угрозу жизнь и здоровье населения крупных городов, которое становится главным потребителем товаров народного потребления.

In-depth studies on the quantification of climate change impact on water resources should be considered. Optimization of water management practices should consider the best economic value between Central Asian countries. Decision making process on water management should be supported with more scientific knowledge. Capacity building measures on the assessment of water availability in times of climate change should be improved.
