Mongolia – Soil pollution reached hazard level in Tuul River basin due to the accumulation of waste and construction waste

The Tuul river basin suffers from the accumulation of waste and construction waste contributing to the pollution of a large number of the city’s lands. A Leading Member of Control and Monitoring Committee in Mongolian Environmental Civil Council, Chinzorig Magvanjav, emphasizes that these areas are protected by law, but companies and factories didn’t abide by this law and kept throwing waste and construction waste, especially at night, calling on the competent government authorities to intervene quickly, fearing that this area might get more polluted leading to a worse situation.
