Air pollution management in Vietnam

Overview

Authorities in Vietnam are intensifying efforts to manage air quality as the region approaches its annual pollution season, which typically spans from October through March. Winter weather conditions are expected to hinder the dispersion of pollutants, increasing risks to urban areas and residential neighborhoods.

In response, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has issued directives to provincial and municipal authorities to strengthen supervision. Specific focus is being placed on dust generated by infrastructure and urban development projects, including excavation, demolition, and the transport of materials.

To mitigate these impacts, construction investors and contractors are required to implement strict control measures, such as site shielding, material covering, water spraying, and vehicle cleaning, to prevent dust from escaping into the surrounding environment.
