The oil industry has a greater and more diverse negative impact on the environment than any other sector of the fuel and energy complex. These effects are most evident during the extraction, processing, and transportation of hydrocarbons. This study is relevant due to the need to assess the impact of oil and gas activities on air quality and public health in Zhylyoi District, Atyrau Region, where large volumes of hydrocarbons are produced. The research aims to analyze the influence of oil and gas fields on atmospheric air quality and the health of the local population. To assess air pollution, data from field studies using specialized equipment and monitoring methods were used. The focus was on harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and other toxic compounds released by oil extraction and processing enterprises. Results from laboratory and field studies were analyzed to identify links between air pollution and the health of Zhylyoi residents. Data on harmful substance concentrations formed the basis for further study of environmental impacts on morbidity and mortality in the region. The practical value of this research lies in its use for developing measures to reduce environmental and health risks from oil and gas activities, as well as improving environmental monitoring and public health systems in Zhylyoi District.
