Research Abstract	The capital city of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia has a rapid economic growth since the 1990's. However, environmental pollution has reached a serious level with the increase in industrial development. Especially, the exhaust gas emitted from Ger(traditional Mongolian tents) and vehicles has recently become an environmental problem in Ulaanbaatar city(UB), there is still no fundamental data on air and water pollution in UB city. Therefore the investigation of air and water pollution would be important and useful for environmental protection data in Mongolia. In this research, analysis of a volatile organic compound, particulates and tap water, were measured about the air pollution situation of the capital, and the result was visualized.
