Air pollution is one of the biggest problems in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, with the most harmful pollutant being PM2.5. This paper aims to provide an overview of the current status of PM2.5 pollution in Ulaanbaatar based on the governmentʼs monitoring data and mitigation policies. During the last several years, PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations have gradually decreased in Ulaanbaatar, even though in winter the average PM2.5 concentration has been 2–5 times higher than national Air Quality Standard（AQS）. The Government of Mongolia is implementing measures to reduce air pollution by approving laws, policy documents and strategies for air pollution mitigation in Ulaanbaatar.
