VOV.VN - Several northern provinces of Vietnam recorded hazardous air quality levels on January 27, prompting authorities to advise residents to limit outdoor activities as fine particulate pollution worsened, according to environmental monitoring agencies.

VOV.VN - Air pollution intensified and spread across northern Vietnam on January 9, with Hanoi, Hung Yen, Hai Phong and Thai Nguyen recording poor to very poor air quality levels, according to official monitoring data.

Hanoi aims to cut average annual PM2.5 concentrations by around 20% by 2030 compared to 2024 levels, lowering them to below 40 µg/m³, as air pollution remains a serious challenge for the capital and other major urban areas.

VOV.VN - Air quality in Vietnam’s capital Hanoi has deteriorated again after two days of improvement, with air quality index (AQI) levels in several areas rising to unhealthy levels, posing potential health risks, local data showed.

VOV.VN - A cold air mass that swept across northern and north-central Vietnam over the past two days, bringing rain and a sharp drop in temperatures, began to weaken on December 15, allowing temperatures to rise by 3-4°C, weather officials said.

VOV.VN - Hanoi recorded hazardous air pollution levels on the evening of December 7, with fine particulate matter (PM2.5) spiking to 35 times the World Health Organisation’s recommended limit and the city briefly ranking as the world’s most polluted, according to air quality monitor IQAir.

VOV.VN - Air quality in Hanoi deteriorated sharply on the morning of November 30, with multiple monitoring stations reporting air quality index (AQI) readings above 200, the city’s worst levels since the start of winter.

Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee Nguyen Manh Quyen on November 6 received Sylvain Ouillon, Chief Representative of the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) in Vietnam, to discuss potential cooperation in air quality monitoring and pollution reduction in the capital city.
