To be clear: While smog is serious issue in Almaty, it is not that bad all the time. This kind of heavy smog happens rarely due to certain weather conditions. Also there is an app to monitor air quality in Almaty: AUA from kazakh ауа [aoua], meaning air. Also local authorities are trying to hide real air pollution from the public and were actively pressuring App developers some time ago. Their main point was that app developers are not authorized official source for air monitoring data and thus can't publish their own monitoring data since it would spread disinformation and panic among population. Not aware of current situation tho.
