At a recent parliamentary session, Deputy Mahabat Mavlyanova (District No. 3) reported that Bishkek has once again found itself among the cities with high levels of air pollution, where coal burning plays a significant role.

According to her information, coal is one of the main sources of smog, releasing harmful substances such as carbon monoxide and arsenic when burned, which adversely affect health. In connection with this problem, smokeless stoves have been implemented in Mongolia and other countries, significantly improving the situation.

The deputy called for measures to control such stoves and expedite the process of gasification of the city. She also emphasized that smog can lead to the development of asthma, bronchitis, and cardiovascular diseases, and in the long term, to oncological diseases.
