Astana's air quality reflects the flat Kazakhstan steppe plateau's Ishim River plain at 347 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the government, construction, and energy corridor contributing local sources. Windblown Central Asian steppe dust generates elevated PM10 during spring and autumn wind events, while winter residential coal and gas heating generates elevated PM2.5 under severe anticyclonic inversions in this extremely cold purpose-built capital and Astana generally maintains moderate to elevated Central Asian steppe capital readings throughout the winter months.
