Ho Chi Minh City shrouded in gloomy skies as air quality index marked ‘unhealthy’

By 8 a.m. on Wednesday, the sun had risen, but the sky remained misty.

In response to growing concerns, the Department of Agriculture and Environment recently proposed installing 157 air quality monitoring stations across the city.

The department stated that the monitoring system is necessary to track pollution trends, provide early warnings of health risks, and support the formulation of emission control policies. The system is expected to supply continuous and reliable scientific data to assess air quality, measure the effectiveness of socio-economic development policies, and enhance emergency response capabilities, particularly during peak hours.
