Air Pollution in Vietnam and Mitigation Solutions for Factories
Vietnam is facing increasingly severe air pollution. According to recent reports, PM2.5 levels in major cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have far exceeded the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended limits. According to the annual Environmental Performance Index (EPI) report conducted by a U.S.-based environmental organization, Vietnam is among the top 10 countries in Asia with the highest levels of air pollution. The primary sources of pollution include emissions from transportation, construction activities, and especially manufacturing factories.
