[Ferro-Alloys.com] A meeting was held in Hanoi on May 27 to discuss measures to control air pollution and improve air quality in Vietnam’s major cities. 

 

Addressing the event, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Vo Tuan Nhan stressed that management agencies need to clarify the causes of air pollution.

 

According to the Vietnam Environment Administration, air pollution is becoming more and more serious, especially in major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. 

 

From last September to December, the hourly air quality index (AQI) in many areas exceeded 200 and even reached 300 - the levels that are hazardous for the health.

 

Attention should be paid to controlling projects with significant emissions, which are likely to cause high levels of environmental pollution, such as the fields of coal thermoelectricity, petroleum, chemicals, steel, chemical fertilizers, mining, and mineral processing.

 

The Ministry of Construction should assume responsibility for issuing a Circular on environmental protection for construction activities; inspecting and evaluating construction management and repairing and dismantling construction works; and re-evaluating urban planning work./.VNA
