This morning and afternoon (November 14), Hanoi's sky was hazy, and the air looked thick from above. Experts said that pollution caused by fine dust (PM.25) is the main cause of this situation in the capital.

This morning, according to IQAir, Hanoi ranked 3rd in the world in terms of air pollution index today, just behind some places in India and Pakistan. The image was recorded at 11am at Hanoi Children's Palace.

Previously, the PAM Air air quality monitoring system with dozens of measuring points recorded air pollution covering Hanoi. Most of the measuring points showed that Hanoi's air quality was at the red threshold. Some measuring points recorded air quality at the purple threshold, the red and purple thresholds being "unhealthy" and "very unhealthy" indicators for health.

IQAir reported that on the morning of November 14, the PM2.5 concentration in Hanoi was 24 times higher and this afternoon it was 16.9 times the value according to WHO's annual air quality guidelines.

According to experts, the main reason for the sharp decline in air quality in Hanoi is due to emissions from vehicles, construction sites, production in craft villages, and straw burning... which cannot be diffused but are pushed down. Image of Van Quan urban area, Ha Dong district this afternoon.

Road 70, Phung Hung (Ha Dong district) is foggy.

Buildings are hidden behind a thick layer of fog and fine dust. Hanoi's PM2.5 index is around 200, an unhealthy level that is harmful to health.

Experts say that people who are regularly exposed to fine dust may experience health problems such as sneezing, runny nose, difficulty breathing, dry eyes...

Long-term exposure increases the rate of reduced lung function, chronic bronchitis, and increases the risk of stroke, heart disease, and cancer.

Authorities recommend that if it is necessary to go out, people should wear standard masks. Normal people should reduce strenuous outdoor activities and avoid prolonged exercise.

On November 14, air quality monitoring systems recorded air pollution across Hanoi. The pollution is forecast to last until the end of this week. The image was recorded on the Ring Road 3 elevated road, passing through Pham Hung.
