Coal-fired stoves put Mongolians lives at risk
A German-Mongolian Institute has announced that people in Mongolia are putting their lives at risk by using coal fired household stoves.
As data shows about 80 percent of air pollution in the capital Ulaanbaatar comes from household stoves. The organization has replaced 180,000 old stoves by clean-burning stoves after receiving a 17-million-dollar investment from the World Bank.
The new stoves are producing less smoke and reducing air pollution by 40 percent. Meanwhile, officials say only about half of the clean stoves are actually used in Ulaanbaatar.
