• In urban areas, bacteriological Mining contamination related to ger district sanitation is high;

Air Processing • In the rural areas, waste from Pollution factories the aimag centers and soums is the main cause of soil pollution

Ger district Waste sanitation

Comparison of soil quality MNS 5850: 2008:

The soil of , , Bayanzurkh, Sukhbaatar, Songinokhairkhan, , Khan-Uul and districts has no heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, mercury, zinc, copper, cobalt, and strontium. However, mercury, chromium, zinc, and strontium in the soil have increased in previous years.

According to the results of the heavy metals monitoring of soil quality in Bayan-Ulgii, Dornogovi, Dornod, Dundgovi, Uvurkhangai, Umnugovi, Sukhbaatar and Khentii aimags, it is normalized to exceed the MNS 5850: 2008 standard. Total area 10.9 thousand hectares STATUS OF ABANDONED MILITARY SITES

Waste - 143,882.10 м3/ha Soil disturbance - 20,077.30 м3 18 30 . A soil pollution assessment survey was conducted at 18 sites. . The main pollutants are metal products such as petroleum, lead, zinc and chromium.  Bayan nexus point: cadmium content was 4.6 mg/kg, lead content was 680.5 mg/kg, or 580.5 mg/kg from the maximum permissible level and reached toxic levels.  At this point zinc concentration was 2356 mg/kg or 7.8 times higher than the permissible level. Priority sites with Important sites with Sites requiring further strategic potential risks to the long-term importance: environment and monitoring for public health: contamination management: • Dornogobi, • Gobi-Sumber, Bayantal; • Dornogobi, Sainshand; • Gobi-Sumber, Dalanjargalan; • Gobi-sumbe, Choir; Shiveegobi; • Uvurkhangai, • city, • Ulaanbaatar city, Arvaikheer; Nalaikh; Bagakhangai; • Bulgan, Ulaan Orkhon; • Ulaanbaatar city, • Darkhan-Uul, Salkhit; • Khentii, Undurkhaan; Baganuur; • Darkhan-Uul, Erkhet; • Bayankhongor, Ulziit; • Dornod, • Dundgobi, Mandalgobi; • Khovd, Darvi; Choibalsan. • Dornod. Gurvanzagal • Khuvsgul, Murun; • Tuv, Sergelen; • Darkhan-Uul, Darkhan town. The purpose of the project is to compare the international experience of identifying, classifying and evaluating contaminated sites and the purpose of extending the cooperation of Military and Civilian Organizations in determining ways to reduce soil and groundwater pollution in the land used for Former Military Sites. . A review of the international practices in identification, ranking and assessments of contaminated sites

• Increase and habit dialogue on reduction and rehabilitation of pollution and land resort among military and civilian organizations

• Develop military and civil organizations jointly with pollution management plans for former military sites and carry out a detailed survey of priority locations

• Enhance cooperation between military and civilian organizations to identify and rehabilitate soil and groundwater pollution in areas used for former military sites A review of the international practices on identification, ranking and assessments of contaminated sites

Preliminary assessment of the soil and groundwater pollution classification of land for Former Military Sites

Habit dialogue on reduction and rehabilitation of areas abandoned by military sites in military and civic organizations, as a result of collaboration

To support Mongolia's ecological and ecological balance
