Air quality in the province is stable.

A concrete mixing facility causing air pollution in Don Thuan commune, Trang Bang town was promptly handled by local authorities.

Specifically, for the central urban area and traffic intersections, the air quality between the northern and southern urban areas of the province is different. Most of the values ​​of SO ₂ , CO, NO ₂ , O ₃ , and PM _2.5 dust are within the allowable limits of the National Technical Regulation on Air Quality - QCVN 05:2023/BTNMT. The air quality in Tay Ninh city is still good and there are no signs of pollution.

At some points, the noise level at some intersections exceeded the standard. In Trang Bang town, the values ​​of SO ₂ , NO ₂ , CO were all higher than in Tay Ninh city; the average value of total suspended dust (TSP) and PM ₁₀ dust in 2021-2022 exceeded the standard by 1.2 - 1.8 times, the percentage of days with good air quality index (VN_AQI) values ​​gradually decreased in the period 2021-2024 (from 47% to 9%). The air quality in the southern part of the province reflects the level of urbanization and industrial concentration, traffic density connecting Ho Chi Minh City, provinces in the region and the Kingdom of Cambodia.

For the border economic zone, industrial park, industrial cluster, the values ​​of total suspended dust (TSP), SO ₂ , NO ₂ , CO parameters are all within the allowable limits of QCVN 05:2023/BTNMT. Most of the industrial parks in the province attract the main industries of production of new materials, construction materials, construction additives, construction components; pharmaceuticals, medical equipment; production of components, equipment and machinery for industry - agriculture - fishery; electrical equipment components; production of household products and handicrafts; assembly of bicycles, motorbikes, cars, specialized means of transport; Textile dyeing, garment... using boilers with fuels such as firewood, coal, FO oil... are all sources of high pollution parameters. However, the air quality in economic zones, industrial parks, and industrial clusters in the period of 2019-2024 is managed and controlled quite well.

In other areas, during the period 2019-2024, the monitored values ​​of noise, SO ₂ , CO, NO ₂ , O ₃ , TSP, PM ₁₀ and PM _2.5 were all within the permissible limits of QCVN 05:2023/BTNMT.

In recent times, the coordination between levels and sectors in environmental management has been given due attention. The coordination between agencies, units and socio-political organizations in implementing environmental protection communication work has been strengthened, especially in the air environment.
