On the need to introduce a single time zone
Professor of the Department of General Biology and Genomics, Academician of Kazakh National Academy of Natural Sciences, Doctor of Medical Sciences Bekbolat Zhetpisbaev spoke on the 24.kz TV channel, where the need to introduce a single time zone on the territory of Kazakhstan was discussed. In his opinion, the UTC+6 time zone does not correspond to natural solar time, which negatively affects biological rhythms and human health. Scientists, experts, deputies and social activists have come to the conclusion that the establishment of a single time zone UTC+5 with the abolition of maternity time in Kazakhstan is the most optimal option from the point of view of chronobiology and will contribute to the synchronization of human biorhythms with the rhythms of nature.
