Abstract

Atmospheric air is one of the main vital components of the natural environment, the favorable state of which is the natural basis for sustainable socio-economic development of the country. The protection of atmospheric air is one of the urgent tasks of our time, the solution of which does not tolerate delay, since air is a necessary condition for life for almost all life on Earth. The article considers atmospheric air as an object of legal protection under the Environmental Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is known that the Environmental Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan defines the legal foundations of state policy in the field of environmental protection, ensuring a balanced solution to socio-economic problems, preserving a favorable environment, biological diversity and natural resources, in order to meet the needs of present and future generations, strengthen the rule of law in the field of protection the environment and ensuring environmental safety. The protection of atmospheric air is carried out on the basis of the Environmental Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, but this normative act does not fully fulfill this function. With regard to the protection of atmospheric air, it contains only general and individual regulatory requirements, while the rest of the norms designed to protect it as an independent natural object from harmful effects have been redistributed taking into account the context of the relevant thematic sections and chapters. As an internally coordinated and systematized act, it nevertheless does not provide complete regulation of the group of relations regarding the protection of atmospheric air, and also excludes the need for further detailing of its provisions in other laws. Therefore, we focus on the fact that in order to optimally improve the norms in this area, it is necessary to rethink the legally enshrined concept of organizing the protection of atmospheric air and take these aspects into account in the draft of the new edition of the Environmental Code currently being developed at the Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan, or in case of impossibility as an addition within the framework of a special normative act.
