The price of the less polluting
stoves has been drastically reduced to attract more buyers. Officials of the
Ulaanbaatar Air Pollution Reduction Committee, the Ulaanbaatar Air Quality
Office and Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy D.Zorigt yesterday held a
meeting to discuss the situation arising out of the very poor demand among
residents in the chosen areas of Ulaanbaatar districts and lowered the price of
the smaller variety from MNT75,000 to MNT25,000, and of the larger model from
MNT250,000 to MNT50,000.

The Government wants 200,000 of
these less smoky stoves, made in Turkey, to be used by households in areas
marked as air quality improvement zones.
