Hanoi Air Quality Monitoring
Overview: Hanoi Air Quality Monitoring
Since 2016, Hanoi became the first city in Vietnam to measure in real-time its air quality. Thus, Environnement S.A Group has provided the city’s pollution monitoring network with data generated by the 10 AQMS stations installed, being centralized and published online on the Government’s website http://moitruongthudo.vn/The page provides AQI (Air Quality Index) over the last 24 hour period as well as pollutant concentration for each station.[1]
Find here the relevant data for different locations in Vietnam. You can select a location to get the AQI and the concentration:[2]
