Mr. Ha Quoc Anh (a resident of District 8) said: "The fog appeared from early morning and hasn't completely dissipated until nearly noon. Many people on the road have to wear masks because they are worried about the pollution."
According to a representative from the Southern Region Meteorological and Hydrological Station, due to recent rain in Ho Chi Minh City, the air humidity is high. In addition, weak winds retain water vapor at lower altitudes, combined with suspended dust already present in the air, causing it to condense into fog.
