On the morning of March 22, in Hanoi, Vietnam - Korea Institute of Science and Technology, Vietnam Association of Testing Laboratories (VINALAB) coordinated with the Japan Association of Analytical Equipment Manufacturers (JAIMA, headquarters headquartered in Tokyo, Japan) and the Vietnam - Korea Institute of Science and Technology (VKIST) organized the Workshop "Water Quality - Latest techniques in quality assurance and control".
Speaking at the conference, Dr. Nguyen Hoang Linh, Director of the Department of Technology Assessment, Appraisal and Inspection (Ministry of Science and Technology), Chairman of the Vietnam Association of Testing Laboratories (VINALAB) said: VINALAB – JAIMA 2024 Conference is an international cooperation conference in research and application of scientific and technological advances in testing, analyzing and monitoring water quality and the environment. This is also an opportunity for leading researchers from Japan and Vietnam, JAIMA and VINALAB member companies to discuss how technology analysis can contribute to management and safety. water quality.
The conference also has a display area introducing the latest equipment and latest technology from Japan and a number of developed countries with strengths in water quality and environmental analysis technology. The program also discussed in-depth topics in water quality monitoring, chaired by experts who are prestigious Vietnamese scientists and guest speakers from Japan.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Duc Loi, Director of the Vietnam - Korea Institute of Science and Technology: Climate change and the process of industrialization and modernization cause Vietnam to face environmental pollution. water is serious, especially water quality is increasingly deteriorating. Therefore, researching new water techniques plays an important role in life.
This conference was organized by the Vietnam - Korea Institute of Science and Technology, a unit with the function of researching, applying and developing multi-disciplinary and multi-field technology; Provide advanced technical services.
According to experts, water quality is a measure of the quality of life not only at the macro level such as international and regional levels but also at the local level such as inter-regional and inter-provincial levels. Domestic water supplied to urban areas today mainly comes from surface water and underground water sources.
According to statistics from the National Assembly's Committee for Science, Technology and Environment, by June 6, the country will have about 2023 construction systems for both urban and rural areas with a capacity of about 4.500 million m11, currently under construction. Daily exploitation is about 3 million m8,3, focusing mainly on exploiting surface water sources of 3% and groundwater sources of 87%.
Experts also say that climate change is currently causing a decrease in flows, groundwater and saltwater intrusion in the dry season, combined with the pace of urbanization, domestic and production wastewater. is polluting surface and underground water sources, directly affecting the operations of water supply stations. To solve the quality of water resources, we must first solve the environmental problem, because if the environment is clean, only then can the water input be guaranteed.
In addition, delegates analyzed water quality, water quality regulations, water treatment, analytical data processes, microplastics; water quality control and assessment; Advanced techniques in water and wastewater treatment...
At the conference, delegates visited exhibition booths, displaying the latest equipment and analysis techniques in the field of wastewater management and treatment./.
