On November 5 afternoon, the AEP said that Hanoi’s air quality index (AQI) measured at 10 monitoring stations in the city was mostly at the bad level. The index ranged from 105 to 140.
Compared to air quality a day earlier when the AQI was recorded at high level at only two areas of Minh Khai and Pham Van Dong, the index on November 5 in the city is higher, the highest ones are recorded at Hang Dau, Minh Khai (140), Pham Van Dong (133), Thanh Cong (124).
Other areas had average AQI below 100 such as My Dinh, Tay Mo, Tan Mai and Kim Lien.
The AEP recommended that Hanoi’s residents should follow air quality information where they are living and working before going out to prevent diseases.
Besides, sensitive groups including children, the elderly and people with respiratory diseases should limit their time outdoors.
When travelling on roads, people need to strictly follow traffic laws to reduce traffic congestion.
The Hanoi police should strengthen traffic regulation in some areas with high traffic density such as Pham Van Dong, Hang Dau, Minh Khai, among others.
In suburban areas, people need to reduce burning waste and agricultural by-products.
