Mongolian State Laureate, the singer D.Bold has been appointed special envoy of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to fight against air-pollution. D.Bold, who is best known as leader of the famous Mongolian boy-band ‘Camerton’, said ‘I will rise a voice against air-pollution and activate other parents like me’. The singer was appointed at a ceremony launching a report entitled ‘Reducing effects of air-pollution on children’s health’ by UNICEF and the Public Health Institute.

Air-pollution is serious global problem – and in Ulaanbaatar in particular. It is blamed for 3.4 million deaths annually around the world; half million of which are children aged below five.
