Ulaanbaatar city, where half of Mongolia's total population lives, ranks first in the world for air pollution during winter. The main causes include 184,000 ger districts, 450,000 motor vehicles, about 1,400 small and medium pressure boilers, 3 large thermal power plants, 1 heating plant, as well as dirt roads, soil pollution, and waste. Total pollution in Ulaanbaatar city is distributed as: ger district chimney smoke about 80%, vehicle exhaust 10%, heating plant chimney smoke 6%. Additionally, 60% of all citizens living in Ulaanbaatar live in ger districts.

Individual participation is very important in reducing air pollution. Every citizen needs to expand their knowledge about the harm and seek ways to live environmentally friendly and healthy. Let me introduce you to some of the simplest methods. Develop habits to save energy, insulate your apartment, solve heating electricity issues using renewable energy such as solar panels, solar collectors, electric heaters, and gas boilers to conserve energy.

Studies comparing pollution of solar panel screens installed in Ulaanbaatar city with those installed in rural areas far from the city show that solar radiation intensity decreased by about 21%, solar screen pollution by about 15%, and total output capacity may decrease by over 30%. The main influencing factor is air and soil pollution. Solar power generators have the advantage of not emitting carbon dioxide gas.

Therefore, it's necessary to wisely address energy and clean solar panels used in Ulaanbaatar more frequently. If each individual makes an effort, Mongolia will be free from air pollution. Solutions may include: households installing independent solar power generators to save electricity, introducing more electric vehicles in the transportation sector and deciding to charge them with solar generators, building large and medium solar stations to reduce the load on heating plants, and keeping our environment clean.
