According to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the level of air pollution in some major cities, especially in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, is on the rise, affecting human health and economic development activities: society. The main reason is dust from construction and industrial production with a lot of waste and emissions from vehicles. The ministry is asking the relevant authorities to increase the frequency of the periodic environmental monitoring program and the automatic monitoring station system, and to calculate and publish the air quality index in accordance with the instructions of the General Directorate. Environment. In addition, the settlements were required to publish the results of monitoring the broadcast in the people's committees, information portals of the ministry and the media. Provincial people's committees require people not to burn solid waste, straw after harvest, in order to minimize the source of air pollution and assess the source of emissions, determine the cause, to minimize environmental pollution. air handling and violations of environmental protection legislation. Local governments will need to properly manage traffic to limit congestion that causes pollution. At the same time, communities should accelerate their plans to expand their public transport network, ultimately replacing motorcycles and other fossil fuel vehicles. Prohibit the movement of old and dilapidated vehicles and at the same time encourage the use of trams and scooters in the city center. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will continue to improve the legal framework for environmental protection, air quality monitoring and lead the implementation of the national action plan for air quality control. The Department of Transport is responsible for the emission standards roadmap once it is approved by the government. The ministry will develop a strategy and roadmap for the development of environmentally friendly vehicles. The Ministry of Construction issues regulations on environmental protection in construction activities and research in the field of noise reduction materials for buildings. Major problems arise from transport problems in Vietnam, high-rise buildings mushrooming in city centers, smog from residential and commercial areas, old industrial zones within Air pollution cities and facilities such as coal-fired power plants, cement and steel producers, worsen pollution air.

The following solution should be applied:

First, improving and strengthening urban planning will significantly reduce air pollution. There are many high-rise buildings in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with large living space and need more green and spacious spaces. Densely populated institutions such as government offices, universities and hospitals can be relocated outside the city.

Second, policies that encourage the use of greener products can reduce air pollution. Elimination of obsolete and polluting vehicles can be encouraged by subsidizing used car makers through higher taxes on new cars.

Third, the assessment of pollutants will be consistent with the principle of paying for polluters. The environmental tax could be revised to better define polluting fuels such as diesel and coal.

Fourth, a smooth and efficient transition to renewable energy will help reduce air pollution and climate change. Promoting policies such as import tariffs and reverse auctions on solar and wind energy will support the recent solar boom, making Vietnam the leading country in Southeast Asia. solar energy installation

Finally, the reform of fossil fuel subsidies could reduce the use of dirty fuels and free up the current annual fossil subsidy of $ 612 million, or 0.3% of Vietnam's GDP, for operations. Other benefits such as health, education and environmental protection.
