Distributing 32,000 stoves aims to reduce carbon monoxide poisoning, not air pollution www.gogo.mn
A working group has been established to prepare and organize the general oversight hearing on air pollution and smoke issues of the Standing Committee on Environment, Food and Agriculture of the National Assembly. On January 15, the working group organized a discussion on the topic of "Air Pollution - Public Health" (The Right to live in a healthy environment) in the "Ikh Ezen Chinggis Khaan" Hall of the Parliament Palace.
Participant G.Ganbat stated that "56% of air pollution originates from ger districts. But why are they going to distribute 30 thousand stoves there? Instead, why are they not discussing it when there are 50 thousand 1 kW electric heaters to heat the house.
Don't lie about not having enough electricity. There is enough electricity during nighttime. Why can’t we heat our ger districts with electricity?”.
In response, A.Amartuvshin, Deputy Governor of the Capital City for Social Affairs, Green Development, and Air Pollution, clarified that the distribution of stoves is part of a strategy to reduce the risks associated with carbon monoxide poisoning, rather than directly addressing air pollution. He explained that the initiative aligns with the policy of transitioning households in the city to designated green and yellow zones, where different heating solutions will be applied.
A.Amartuvshin also highlighted infrastructure improvements, noting that the recently operational Buurulrjut power plant has resolved the issue of electricity shortages for the winter. He added that efforts are underway to enhance electricity voltage for 46,000 households, ensuring a more stable power supply.
