This article examines the environmental consequences of the activities of the Samarkand Superphosphate Plant, one of the largest chemical enterprises established in Uzbekistan during the Soviet period. The study analyzes the historical conditions that led to the construction and expansion of the plant and investigates its role in supporting agricultural production through the manufacture of mineral fertilizers and sulfuric acid. Based on archival documents, statistical data, historical literature, and official reports, the research explores the impact of industrial activities on the natural environment of the Samarkand region. Particular attention is paid to the pollution of water resources, atmospheric air, and soil caused by industrial emissions, untreated wastewater, and the accumulation of chemical waste. The article demonstrates that the discharge of wastewater into local streams and canals, especially the Chashma stream connected to the Zarafshan River basin, contributed to the deterioration of water quality and posed risks to agricultural lands and public health. Furthermore, the operation of sulfuric acid production facilities resulted in the release of harmful substances into the atmosphere, negatively affecting both workers and nearby residents. The study also highlights deficiencies in environmental management, including the absence of effective wastewater treatment systems, inadequate waste disposal infrastructure, and insufficient environmental monitoring mechanisms. The findings reveal that the ecological problems associated with the Samarkand Superphosphate Plant were largely the result of Soviet industrial policies that prioritized production targets and economic growth over environmental protection. The article argues that the environmental degradation observed in the region reflects broader structural characteristics of the Soviet industrial system. By examining the historical experience of the Samarkand Superphosphate Plant, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between industrial development and environmental sustainability and offers valuable insights for contemporary environmental policy and sustainable industrial management in Uzbekistan.
