Russian companies holding meetings with local authorities to discuss gas pipeline project www.montsame.mn

The natural gas pipeline connecting Russia and China will go through the territory of Mongolia, passing through six aimags for a total distance of 962.9 km. As an agreement has been signed between the sides of Mongolia and Russia on conducting studies for the project, the Russian companies in charge of carrying out the works have begun to hold their first meetings with the side of Mongolia - local governing bodies.
The first meetings took place in Darkhan-Uul and Tuv aimags. As 38.3 km of the gas pipeline will be passing through Darkhan-Uul aimag, representatives of Russia’s ‘Gazoprovod Soyuz Vostok’ and ‘Soyuz Vostok’ companies as well as ‘Erdenes Gas’ project held a meeting with the aimag's authorities last week. During the meeting, they discussed issuing a permission to conduct an engineering study for the project, sharing information on entities that run operations near the gas pipeline’s location, and appointing an official to be in charge of project cooperation.
Aside from Ulaanbaatar city, the natural gas pipeline will pass through a total of 20 soums in six aimags, which includes Selenge, Darkhan-Uul, and Dornogobi.
CEO of ‘Gazoprovod Soyuz Vostok’ LLC Ye.N.Aseev said, “This is one of the first meetings we are holding with Mongolia’s aimag governors and authorities. It is fully possible for the local workforce to be involved in the initial works to be carried out for the gas pipeline. Furthermore, it is also possible for construction materials to be locally supplied.”

Five Mongolians arrested, accused of plotting to kill politicians www.news.mn

The General Intelligence Agency of Mongolia has made a serious statement regarding a plot of terrorist activity by extremists in the country of 3.4 million.
The Intelligence arrested five extremists who suspected of planning a terrorist bomb and gun attack during future peaceful demonstrations in Mongolia’s capital city of Ulaanbaatar and plotting to assassinate some politicians and senior civil servants.
Materials found in the men’s possession “reinforces the impression that gives reason to suspect them of terrorist offences”, the GIA said in a statement.

Photos released by the GIA showed weapons confiscated from the group including a semi-automatic rifle, explosive devices and bundles of dynamite.

Mongolia adds 81 new COVID-19 infections www.xinhuanet.com

April 5 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia reported 81 new COVID-19 local cases over the past 24 hours, bringing the national count to 469,831, according to a statement by the country's health ministry on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, no new deaths from COVID-19 were reported in the past day, and the country's death toll has remained unchanged at 2,108.
Mongolians have basically returned to normal life due to high vaccination coverage and declining daily infections.

Almost everyone now breathing polluted air, warns WHO www.news.un.org

Noting that fossil fuels are responsible for most of the harmful emissions that are linked to acute and chronic sickness, the World Health Organization (WHO) called for tangible steps to curb their use.
The UN agency also urged more governments to take note that it has made significant revisions to its air quality indicators, including for particulate matter - known as PM2.5 - that can enter the bloodstream, along with nitrogen dioxide (NO2), another common urban pollutant and precursor of particulate matter and ozone.
Lower level
“It has been recognised that air pollution has an impact at a much lower level than previously thought,” said Dr. Sophie Gumy, Technical Officer at WHO’s Department of Environment, Climate Change and Health.
“So, with all the new evidence that has come up over the last 15 years since the last WHO air quality guideline update, most of the values of the guidelines levels have been reduced. So (for) particulate matter it has been reduced by two, and for nitrogen dioxide it has been reduced by four.”
According to the WHO, low and middle-income countries still experience greater exposure to unhealthy levels of particulate matter compared to the global average, but nitrogen dioxide patterns “are different, showing less difference between high and low and middle-income countries”.
Invisible danger
The agency’s data indicates that 4.2 million people die from exposure to outdoor air pollution, in addition to the 3.8 million whose deaths are linked to household smoke produced by dirty stoves and fuels.
And based on WHO’s mathematical modelling of available air pollution data from 80 per cent of the world’s urban areas, it indicates that almost every one of us faces an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, lung disease, cancer and pneumonia.
As depressing and as dangerous as this situation is, the UN health agency insists that momentum has been growing for better air quality everywhere in the last decade.
Proof of this is the fact that more than 6,000 cities in 117 countries now monitor air quality, compared to 1,100 cities in 91 countries a decade ago.
Achieving cleaner air is also one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and an increasing number of UN agencies have passed resolutions urging Member States to address the health impacts of smog-filled air.
Welcoming the increasing number of cities that have begun to measure air quality for the first time, Dr. Maria Neira, Director, WHO Department of Environment, Climate Change and Health, said that it was particularly significant that data is also being gathered on nitrogen dioxide.
NO2 “is a proxy indicator for traffic and it's telling us what is happening at urban level and how this gas that we know that is so damaging and causing so many of respiratory diseases - one of them being asthma - is increasing in many cities around the world.”
Despite this progress, “the bad news is that we still have a majority of cities who do not comply with the air quality guidelines,” said Dr. Gumy. “The people living in them are still breathing unhealthy levels of fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide, with people in low and middle-income countries suffering the highest exposures.”
Hot data
Released ahead of World Health Day on 7 April, the 2022 update of the World Health Organization’s air quality database includes for the first time ground measurements of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter with diameters equal or smaller than 10 microns (PM10) or 2.5 microns (PM2.5). Both groups of pollutants originate mainly from human activities related to fossil fuel combustion.
The new air quality database is the most extensive yet in its coverage of air pollution exposure on the ground, WHO says. Some 2,000 more cities/human settlements now record ground monitoring data for particulate matter, PM10 and/or PM2.5, than the last update. This marks an almost six-fold rise in reporting since the database launched in 2011.

US coal prices top $100/t for first time since 2008 www.bloomberg.com

U.S. coal prices topped $100 a ton for the first time in 13 years as Russia’s war in Ukraine upends international energy markets and an economic rebound from the pandemic drives up demand for fossil fuels.
Prices for coal from Central Appalachia surged 9% to $106.15 a ton last week, the highest since late 2008, according to government data released Monday. Prices in the Illinois Basin rose to $109.55, topping $100 for the first time in records dating to 2005.
The surge matches increases around the world as the Ukraine war prompts users to seek alternatives to Russian coal, which accounted for almost 18% of global exports in 2020. That’s exacerbating a surge in demand that began last year as a global economic recovery from pandemic drove up electricity consumption.
“The energy fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could last for a while,” Michelle Bloodworth, chief executive officer of America’s Power, a coal-power trade group, said in an interview. “Coal is going to be needed for the foreseeable future.”
While U.S. power producers have been shifting away from coal, consumption actually climbed last year as prices also increased for natural gas. More costly fossil fuels come as U.S. consumers already face the highest inflation in four decades. Americans are paying higher utility bills, food prices are surging and housing costs are up.
Prices in Central Appalachia and the Illinois basin are rising more than in other U.S. coal-producing regions because they have easier access to international markets. U.S. exports climbed 23% last year and are expected to increase another 3.3% this year as miners take advantage of record international prices.
The rebound in coal comes as a United Nations-backed panel of climate scientists warned Monday that the world may be on track to warm at a pace that would painfully remake societies and life on the planet.
