Another “Fresh Air – Car Free Day” is being planned for the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar. It is well known that the city is one of most air-polluted capitals of the world. The source of the problem is caused by the emissions from the city’s coal-fired power plants; the exhaust fumes from hundreds of thousands of cars, not to mention the air pollution from the ger-districts,   which is a winter problem.

The Ulaanbaatar City Administration frequently organises car free days for highlighting public health issues and sports activities.

The “Fresh Air – Car Free Day” is being organised as a part of three different campaigns namely; ‘City with Fresh Air’, ‘’90 Minutes Clean-Up Day’ and ‘Car-Free day’.
