Your total impact
— trees you would need to plant to offset this CO₂
Each tree absorbs ~22 kg of CO₂ per year. Plant them once — they will absorb your car's total emissions within a year.
Your car has emitted — grams of PM2.5 over its lifetime.
For reference, breathing polluted winter air (100 µg/m³) for a day means inhaling about 1.5 mg of PM2.5. Your total driving has produced the particle equivalent of — days of breathing polluted air.
Older cars emit significantly more pollutants. A pre-2010 vehicle produces 5–10× more fine particles than a modern one.
Estimates based on average EU/WHO emission factors adjusted for vehicle age. Actual emissions depend on driving conditions, maintenance, and fuel quality.
Learn more about air quality in Kazakhstan →Kazakhstan has millions of cars on the road. Most of them are over 10 years old. Every day, each one adds a little more CO₂ and fine particles to the air we all breathe.
This calculator gives you a rough picture of what your car contributes — and what it would take to offset it.
Why this matters
Air pollution is the biggest environmental health risk in Kazakhstan. PM2.5 — the fine particles your car emits — penetrate deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream. They cause respiratory disease, heart problems, and shorten lives.
Most people do not realize their own car is part of the problem. This calculator is here to make that connection visible.
How it works
We use average emission factors from the EU and WHO, adjusted for vehicle age. Older cars produce significantly more pollutants — a pre-2010 vehicle emits 5–10 times more fine particles (PM2.5) than a modern one.
The results are estimates, not exact measurements. But they are honest — and sometimes that is enough to make you think.
