This study thus uses a scientific approach to identify the main sources of air pollution in Bishkek, estimate their relative contributions to PM2.5 concentrations, model the dispersion of PM2.5 pollution across the Bishkek airshed and assess the impact on PM2.5 concentrations of a range of emission reduction measures. The study’s results support the evidence base for the design of measures to improve air quality in Bishkek. This study aims to evaluate the air quality situation in Bishkek, focusing on PM2.5 pollution, which has the largest impact on human health, and to provide support for the design of measures to improve air quality in the city.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOPOLLUTION MANAGEMENTAIR POLLUTIONLIFE ON LANDSDG 15CLIMATE ACTIONSDG 13ReportWorld Bank10.1596/41995
