In winter times, 50 percent of the households of the Ger horoolol (district) in the capital provide themselves heating consumptions by burning retailed packaged charcoal. Other 30 percent of people use a little charcoal and rest burn discarded used tires imported from Korea and Japan.

When one tire is burned, 87% poisonous gas will disseminate to the air according to accounts of scientists. I would like to inform our State and President about the two choices we have, one is to die from poisonous gas and the other is frozen to death, both are results of our poverty.

I went to Justice Hospital in order to prove it by document.

"Since the last decade, most lungs in corpses are black", said by a doctor. Consequently, I am scared to know that my lung may be black too, because I smoke and drink alcohol. Actually, a stomach of the dead mother and her misled four months old "baby" is blacker than a forty years old guy like me", said doctor. The doctor showed us the stomach of the dead baby putting in special liquid. This stomach is as black as a tire.

When I went out of the Justice Hospital, air pollution and the dirty smoke seemed like increased in Ulaanbaatar's sky. In Ulaanbaatar, our future generation will breathe in this dangerous gas; if so, I should bring my baby to countryside. Half of our populations live in the Ulaanbaatar.  So it is not only a problem of our capital, it is a nationwide disaster.
