Temirtau, Industrial center in Karaganda Region, Kazakhstan
Located on the Samarkand Reservoir of the Nura River, Temirtau contains metallurgical works and chemical plants producing synthetic rubber and calcium carbide.
Founded in 1909 as Samarkandsky, the city gained prominence during World War II with the establishment of a steel mill using scrap metal for production.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Fatima and numerous mosques represent the religious diversity of Temirtau's population of over 185,000 residents.
The city maintains rail connections to major urban centers like Astana and Almaty, with commercial areas concentrated along the main boulevards.
In January 2018, Temirtau experienced black snow, a result of industrial emissions from the multiple manufacturing facilities in the region.
