Kalachi (Kazakh: Кaлaчи, Kalachi), previously Kalachevskiy,[1] is a rural locality in Esil District of Akmola Region, Kazakhstan.[2] In 2014, it was reported that almost a fifth of the population had been affected with a 'sleep syndrome'.[3][4] In January 2015, reports said that over half of the village's population planned to move elsewhere.[5] It was later determined that increased carbon monoxide levels from a nearby abandoned mine had caused oxygen levels in the town to fall.[6][7]
