Dossor or Bos-Sor, ДОССОР (Kazakh: Доссор, Dossor) is a town in the Makat District, Atyrau Region of western Kazakhstan.[1]

In 2011, sixteen freight cars loaded with sulfur were left in the town for 26 days, and residents became ill. Activists blocked the railroad tracks and demanded the cars be removed.[2]
