On the morning of November 26, the Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment informed that Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Le Cong Thanh had just signed an official dispatch to 7 localities including: Hanoi, Hai Phong, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen, Phu Tho, Thai Nguyen, Ninh Binh, requesting to immediately deploy urgent measures to control air pollution and reduce PM2.5 fine dust.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said that according to monitoring data from the national environmental quality monitoring system and hydrometeorological forecasting, in the next 10 days, the Northern region, especially Hanoi and neighboring provinces, will experience unfavorable weather patterns (temperature inversion, windless, fog), reducing the ability to diffuse pollutants in the air environment, leading to the risk of increased concentration of accumulated PM2.5 fine dust (AQI exceeding 150), directly affecting economic , social activities and public health.
To proactively control, prevent and minimize the level of pollution and adverse impacts of this pollution outbreak, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment recommends that the People's Committees of the above provinces and cities increase street cleaning and implement solutions to reduce road dust.
Specific activities include: directing environmental sanitation units and project owners to immediately increase the frequency of street sweeping and dust extraction; using specialized vehicles to spray water to clean streets at main traffic routes and urban gateways; and strictly controlling construction and transportation activities that emit dust.
Localities should strengthen inspection and supervision of construction sites in the area; suspend construction (if necessary) of projects that do not comply with environmental protection regulations, causing dust and mud to spread onto the road; strengthen inspection and strictly handle vehicles transporting construction materials and waste that are not properly covered, causing spillage onto the road, causing environmental pollution.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment also requested localities to strictly manage industrial waste sources and activities involving combustion in craft villages, especially facilities with large emission sources (cement, thermal power, steel smelting, etc.); craft villages with combustion, recycling facilities (craft villages) in the area; control the stable operation of exhaust gas treatment systems, ensure environmental technical standards; encourage reducing operating capacity on days when air quality (VN_AQI) is at a bad level or worse, affecting people's health...
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment will use drones and satellite images to monitor and detect open burning sites and large emissions and send information and images of violations to localities.
The Ministry also requested localities to direct the handling immediately upon receiving feedback information. The Ministry will coordinate with localities to organize inter-sectoral working groups (if necessary) to inspect and supervise the implementation; resolutely handle violations and publicize information of violating organizations and individuals on mass media.
