Air pollution in Ho Chi Minh City needs more attention

One major cause of this issue is the emissions from the engines of vehicles on the streets.

Ho Chi Minh City now shows the city's air quality reading on 48 eletronic panels placed on main roads around the city. This information will also be accessible by smart phones in the coming time.

However, the problem will not be solved if vehicles are not checked regularly. Other measures can be taken such as tree planting and the recycling of plastic waste.
