Challenges in addressing air pollution in large cities
The rapid urbanisation process, coupled with the overload of residents and vehicles, has made air pollution a ‘crisis’ for big cities of Hà Nội and HCM City.
Associate Professor, Bùi Thị An, director of the Institute for Environmental Resources and Community Development, said large cities are currently subjected to a vast amount of harmful emissions into the air. Among these, urban transportation and emissions from personal vehicles are the leading causes of air pollution in large cities.
Monitoring activities have been carried out systematically, ensuring compliance with environmental monitoring procedures, thereby providing a comprehensive and timely assessment of environmental quality and reliable data for air quality management.
