Do not burn fallen leaves, do not poison nature and yourself!
The National Committee for Ecology and Climate Change warns against setting fire to stubble, fallen leaves, branches, and other plant residue in field areas.
When plant residue is burned, huge amounts of toxic pollutants are released into the atmospheric air — carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (\(NO_{x}\)), nitrogen dioxide (\(NO_{2}\)), benzo(a)pyrene, dioxin, dibenzofuran, sulfur dioxide, phosgene, and other toxic substances that cause serious harm to the environment and human health. Furthermore, under the influence of high fire temperatures, macro and microelements in the soil are destroyed, and soil fertility decreases.
Setting fire to field areas is strictly prohibited by law. Such offenses entail an administrative fine up to 10 times the base calculating amount in accordance with the relevant articles of the Code of Administrative Responsibility. In addition, economic measures are imposed based on current procedures for damage caused to each hectare of burned cropland.
For reference, within the framework of the state space monitoring program, the "Uzbekkosmos" Agency is working in cooperation to identify instances of straw burning, detect offenders, and take prompt action against them.
Do not burn fallen leaves and plant residue in field areas, do not harm the environment and human health! Instead, use plant residue for composting, mulching seedlings, or for livestock needs. Preserving nature is preserving the future.
