On February 6, S.Davaasuren, Head of the National Committee's Office, said:
- Comparing December last year with the same period last year, air pollution in the capital decreased by 26%. It also decreased by 26% in January. It is not clear whether the measures against vehicle emissions have been implemented, but rather due to fuel reform and stove reform.
According to laboratory tests, sulfur in semi-coked fuel has decreased by 46% compared to the previous improved fuel.
L.Battur, director of the National Center for Public Health, said his agency monitors health harms linked to air pollution and pays particular attention to carbon-monoxide (CO) poisoning.
He gave figures for 2023–2025: 3,184, 2,830 and 2,267 people poisoned respectively. Death reported; 61 (2023), 53 (2024) and 30 (2025).
Health officials stressed the need to clarify the reasons behind those numbers and to develop prevention measures. They cautioned that the warm season (February–May) brings an increase in CO-poisoning cases and urged the public to follow safety guidance.
