Air and water quality indexes in the province continues to be stable

Provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment has reported that the technical monitoring results of air and water quality at stations in the province show that the quality of these two resources in November 2022 remained in stable level.

Accordingly, the air monitoring results in November 2022 showed concentrations of 15/17 observed parameters (dust PM10, CO, NO2, SO2, O3, lead dust, xylene, toluene...) at most important monitoring points met QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT and QCVN 06:2019/BTNMT standards. Meanwhile, monitoring and evaluation results of water quality in November 2022 for rivers and canals in the province also recorded that surface water quality in rivers and canals is tending to be improved and more stable than before.

According to leaders of Department of Natural Resources and Environment, most analytical criteria met the national technical standards on surface water quality (QCVN 08-MT: 2015/BTNMT).
