Experts share insights on air pollution reduction
A scientific seminar on air pollution and traffic convened leading domestic and international experts and scientists to discuss sustainable transportation solutions and the role of science in enhancing air quality on December 5.
According to Associate Professor Ho Quoc Bang from Ho Chi Minh City National University, air pollution in large cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City mainly comes from traffic, industrial production and the use of fossil fuels.
To address air pollution caused by traffic, Professor Daniel Kammen proposed accelerating the production of electric vehicles and renewable energy sources. He emphasized the importance of developing cost-effective sodium-ion or non-metal battery technologies to minimize dependence on fossil fuels. However, he warned that the existing rate of transition is insufficient to meet sustainable development objectives. California has implemented a policy to prohibit the sale of new emission-free vehicles by 2030, representing a significant advancement in the shift towards environmentally friendly transportation.
