“…Tables 1 and 2 show the prevalence and levels of exposure to common environmental risk factors in Mongolia, and associations between environmental risk factors and health outcomes among adults and children are reported in Tables 3 and 4. 3-5,11,14-41,44,45,47-49,51,54,55,58,62,66-82…”

“…A review protocol was developed with methods and inclusion criteria specified in advance (Text S2). We incorporated published studies meeting the following inclusion criteria: for levels of exposure, studies and/or data sources reported levels and/or prevalence of exposure to environmental risk factors in Mongolia 3,5,11-43 ; for health consequences of exposure, we included studies investigating an association between exposure to environmental risk factors (air pollution; exposure to chemicals and metals, including mercury, cadmium, lead, and chromium; and water pollution) and health and well-being in Mongolia. 4,14-19,30…”

“…Air Pollution. Most reported levels of air pollutants in Mongolia 3,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] were much higher than permissible levels and standards (WHO Guideline for outdoor 2005 and indoor air 2008 and Mongolian National Standard 4585:2007) especially during winter (Table 1, Figure 2). Figure 2 shows monthly trends in air pollutant (PM, SO 2 and NO 2 ) concentrations in capital city during the last 12 months.…”

Mongolia has significant exposure to environmental risk factors because of poor environmental management and behaviors, and children are increasingly vulnerable to these threats. This study aimed to assess levels of exposure and summarize the evidence for associations between exposures to environmental risk factors and adverse health outcomes in Mongolia, with a particular focus on children. A systematic review was conducted using the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Global Health Library, CINAHL, CABI, Scopus, and mongolmed.mn electronic databases up to April 2014 . A total of 59 studies meeting the predetermined criteria were included. Results indicate that the Mongolian population has significant exposure to outdoor and indoor air pollution, metals, environmental tobacco smoke, and other chemical toxins, and these risk factors have been linked to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases among adults and respiratory diseases and neurodevelopmental disorders among children. Well-designed epidemiological investigations in vulnerable populations especially in pregnant women and children are recommended.

In this paper presents first results of the monitoring study on ambient air quality in Ulaanbaatar and Erdenet cities of Mongolia. The work performed including sampling of particle concentration and elemental concentration valuable data. Determined for each of PM 10 and PM 2.5 sites air particulate. Research results show, that air dust concentration is mostly more than national standard level in all seasons. By this study determined that soil particles and white dust is dominant pollutant source in UB city and mining site of Erdenet.
