Air pollution has a major health impact on people living in UB (Ulaanbaatar) city. The excessive high particulate matter concentrations, especially in winter and in the ger areas, lead to serious illnesses and deaths. In order to get information to improve air quality in UB city, we investigate the current situation of location of ger areas and emission data of ger stoves and three thermal power plants. We reported the burning experimental result of the ger stoves and the present situation of the health hazard in a previous report. Now, in this report, we calculate the several diffusion simulations of air pollution in 2010. Our study has been carried out in collaboration with our Mongolian partner's TCDC (Tolgoit community development center, Songinokhairkhan district), and we want to make a contribution towards a cleaner and greener UB city.
