The article examines the key aspects of the environmental 
condition of the Pavlodar region in the 1990s. It provides an analysis of the 
climate, the structure of industrial production, and the availability of 
minerals. Based on statistical materials, the state of atmospheric air 
characterized by the presence of harmful impurities polluting the 
environment has been studied. The status and usage of water resources in 
the region are also indicated. The authors note a real threat of pollution of 
the Irtysh River by heavy industry waste in the region. The analysis of the 
materials showed that despite having significant land resources, the 
Pavlodar region inefficiently used them for agriculture. In conclusion, it is 
stated that the environment of the region was influenced by an increase in 
pollution of water and land resources with toxic metals as a result of the 
activities of non-ferrous metallurgy and thermal power plants.
