Air pollution present situation in Ho Chi Minh City: Since 2005, HCMC has started to conduct observations of the presence of Benzene concentration in the atmosphere at many places. The results show that six spots’ Benzene concentration has reach 35 - 40ÃŽ ¼g/m3. Although Viet Nam has yet to regulate such standard, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency only allows the number of 10ÃŽ ¼g/m3. HCMC Department of Environmental Protection has carried out the six hot spots of air pollution and discovered 90% of unqualified samples. Specifically, in 2011, suspended dust from smoke is always in a high level (average concentration fluctuates from 0.58 to 0,97mg/m3, which means 1.9 – 3.2 times exceeds Viet Nam’s regulations); Lead concentration is approximately 0.49 – 0.67ÃŽ ¼g/m3, higher in four out of six monitoring stations than the figure of year 2010. Additionally, 59% Nitrogen Oxide is out of regulations (concentration oscillates from 0.18 to 0.27 mg/m3,Show MoreRelatedA Place For Us1515 Words   |  7 Pageswe take only from Nature at equal the rate or less than the rate Nature can restore itself or heal itself.† However, we would not.
