G.SHIILEGDAMBA Minister of Nature and Environment of Mongolian and Chairman of National Council on Policy Regulation of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals 4 EX ECUTIVE SUMMARY National activities to support implementation of the Strategic Approach to International Ch emicals Management (SAICM) during 2008-2009 in Mongolia were undertaken in the context of the projects “Updating National Chemicals Management Profiles, Development of a National SAICM Capacity Assessment, and Holding of a National SAICM Priority Setting Workshop”, with the financial support of the SAICM Quick Start Programme Trust Fund, and “Strengthening Governance, Civil Society Participation and Partnerships within an Integrated National Chemicals and Waste Management Programme”, with the financial support of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) of the Government of Switzerland. The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) provided technical assistance for the projects. A National Profile provides a comprehensive overview and assessment of the existing national legal, institutional, administrative, and technical infrastructure related to the sound management of chemicals. In Mongolia National Profiles have served as a useful basis for identifying national chemicals management priorities and for initiating targeted and coordinated follow-up actions. Mongolia has joined the international initiative for developing the National Chemicals Management Profile since 2006, with the UNITAR / IOMC support. The first Mongolian Profile was produced in 1999. Current Profile offers an update of information gathered and presented according to the guidelines suggested by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and Supplementary Note in April 2008. UNITAR has extensively provided technical and commentary support for the preparation of the chapters of informative content and focuses. The current national profile was made possible by the effort of a national coordinating team, comprising members representing various organizations from government and private sectors as well as non-governmental and civil society organizations. The main coordinator of the national profile preparation is Ministry of Nature and Environment, the official national focal point for SAICM, working in collaboration with the National Co uncil. However, the updating process of National Profile should be regularly conducted to keep abreast of the latest information for further improvement of national chemical management scheme. The National Profile development process has significantly facilitated the exchange of current information and created constructive alliances between governmental agencies, research institutions, industry and civil societies. This is very important for further efforts to strengthen the national chemical management scheme through active involvement of all concerned parties. “The Updating a National Chemicals Management Profile, Development of a National SAICM Capacity Assessment, and Holding of a National SAICM Priority Setting” project was signed in September 2007 and goal of the project is to update a Natiobal Profile – the comprehensive assessment of the national infrastructure, relating to the legal, in stitustional, administrative, and technical aspects of chemicals management. Project team was appointed in January 2008 and put a goal to develop profile on basis of making 5 analyse on already collected data and information, if necessary to collect and renew in formation by using effective survey methodologies. Project team was key personnel representing competent institutions. Brainstorming, questionnarre and face-to-face me eting were used in the methodology. The draft profile was circulated to all members of the National Coordinating Team in order to obtain necessary comments. 6 CHAPTER 1 NATIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1.1 Physical and Demographic Context Mongolia (41o35’ - 52o09’N and 87o44’E-119o56’E) is located in Northeast Asia covering an area of 1,564,000 km2. It borders with the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China, and stretches for 2,392 km from west to east and 1,259 km from north to south . Mongolia is one of the largest land-locked countries in the world. The northwest and central parts are high mountainous regions , while the eastern part is a vast steppe region. The southern part of the country is covered with semi-desert and desert area (the Mongolian Gobi). Forests cover 7.8% of the country and mainly consist of larch and pine. Certain areas in the Gobi are occupied by saxaul forests. There

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Sarin gas is one of the most lethal nerve agent used in chemical warfare, which its detection is import to prevent Nerve agent sarin a chemical attack and to identify a contamination area. Herein, density functional theory was used to investigate Gas sensor the (12,0) boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) and Si–doped BNNT as possible candidates to sarin detection. The Si- Boron nitride nanotube atoms doped improve the electronic properties of nanotubes by altering the electrostatic potential, HOMO and DFT LUMO energies. Based in the adsorption energies and the conductivity increased to ~33 and 350%, respectively, for Si- and 2Si-BNNT imply that they can be used for sarin detection.

GRILLOT and ROBERT E. SCHAFFRATH Received September 85, 1958 N-Arylaminomethyl aryl sulfides and l,3,5-triaryl-l,5-dithia-3-azapentanes have been prepared by condensing primary aromatic amines with formaldehyde and thiophenols. A-Methylanilines condense with formaldehyde and thiophenols to form Ar-methyl-Ar-arylaminomethyl aryl sulfides. Two arylaminoethy 1 aryl sulfides were prepared by condensing 0-chloroethylaniline with the sodium salt of the thiophenol. Basicities of these arylaminoalkyl aryl sulfides have been related to (a) the presence of electrophilic substituents attached to the aryl groups and (b) the number of carbon atoms separating the nitrogen and sulfur atoms. Recently Grillot et a l.1 have demonstrated that Whereas primary aliphatic amines generally the thiophenols condense with secondary aliphatic give a mixture of secondary and tertiary amines in amines and formaldehyde to form dialkylamino- the Mannich reaction, primary aromatic amines methyl aryl sulfides similar in structure to the can be condensed with thiophenols and formalde­ dialkylaminomethyl alkyl sulfides prepared by hyde in a 1:1:1 mole ratio to give almost exclusively McLeod and Robinson2 3by condensing aliphatic moderately stable usually crystalline W-arylamino- mercaptans with aliphatic

These descriptors can then be used in equations that we have already set out in order to estimate a large number of physicochemical properties. These include the water to octanol partition coefficient and the gas to water partition coefficient. For the organic mercury(II) species, including dimethylmercury and the methylmercury(II) halides, the latter has been estimated over the temperature range 273-373K. Introduction Mercury and mercury(II) compounds are important species; dimethylmercury and methylmercury(II) compounds are known environmental pollutants. Although a number of thermodynamic properties are available especially for mercury 1, 2 and mercury(II) halides, 2 many other properties that are relevant to environmental and health issues are not known. A number of computational methods can be used for the calculation of a range of properties of compounds, but many of these methods such as SPARC,3 Advanced Chemistry Development 4 and PharmaAlgorithms, 5 cannot deal with any compounds that contain mercury atoms.
