Now those who damage the environment by burning fallen leaves will be fined 3.3 million

Now those who burn fallen leaves will be fined up to 3.3 million soums. The reason is that in most cases of leaf fall, we observe the burning of fallen leaves and cut branches with the beginning of the rainy season. The smoke generated by burning dried leaves affects the human pulmonary system. According to research, when burning 1 ton of dried leaves, up to 9 kg of microparticles of smoke are released into the air.

Such microparticles include dust, nitrous oxide, IC gas, heavy metals, as well as some of the most dangerous substances for humans – dioxin and dioxane. When these toxins enter the human body, they damage the immune system, disrupting the activity of hormones and vitamins. Useful microorganisms of the soil layer also die – earthworms, small insects.

In fact, such an act is an offense and entails a fine of up to 10 times the amount of the basic calculation -3.3 million soums in accordance with the Code of Administrative Responsibility. It is also mandatory to recover the amount of damage caused by a decrease in soil fertility on this site due to the burning of straw.

Citizens are asked to call and inform by the helpline number 11-57 or contact the telegram bot @ecogovuz_bot in case of such situations.

A useful fertilizer can be prepared from Khazans. Experienced gardeners claim that if you put the collected leaves in bags and wait all winter, they will rot and turn into compost. In autumn, special pits are dug, fallen leaves are buried in these pits, and in spring, the use of ready-made humus as fertilizer for trees gives a good effect.
