The German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) in Hanoi will donate the 18 sensors with a view to improving air quality monitoring in the city.

The city’s Department of Natural Resources and Environment will calibrate the sensors in accordance with the city’s other air quality monitoring stations to ensure accurate data.

The air quality data will be made public on the site http://moitruongthudo.vn, smartphone applications and electronic boards in public areas in Hoan Kiem district once the sensors come into stable operation.
