This article analyzes the current state of environmental pollution in the Republic of Uzbekistan based on
official statistics and available resources. Using methods of analysis and synthesis, scientific abstraction, induction,
and deduction, the study compares Uzbekistan’s data with findings from other countries. Through abstract-logical
approaches, the article generalizes the results and formulates conclusions. Mathematical and statistical methods are
applied for calculations, while econometric modeling is used to forecast future trends. Based on international experience,
the article provides practical recommendations for reducing pollution emissions associated with factors such as GDP
growth and increasing population density in Uzbekistan. The study aims to offer practical insights for raising awareness
and addressing environmental challenges arising from economic and demographic growth.
