9 Hanoi, Roadmap CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Environmental pollution is getting obvious in Vietnam due to the rapid industrialization in the recent decade, and air pollution becomes an issue in the urban areas, especially in mega cities such as Hanoi city and Ho Chi Minh city (HCMC). It is concerned to trigger the health damage on people due to air pollution, unless effective countermeasures would be in practice. The Vietnam government has revised the Law on Environmental Protection (LEP) for the second time in June 2014, in order to tackle and control the environmental pollution including air pollution by introducing the more effective and enforceable administrative approach. In this context, the Project for Institutional Development of Air Quality Management in Vietnam (the Project) was launched from September 2013 in the close cooperation among PCD of VEA/ MONRE, DONREs of Hanoi city and HCMC, and JICA, in order to enhance the institutional capacity of air quality management in Vietnam. The Project was designed as shown below according to the Record of Discussion (RD) signed by MONRE and JICA on 26th March <Project Purpose> To Enhance the Institutional Capacity of Air Quality Management in Vietnam Output 1 Technical/ Institutional Development as Preparedness for LEP Amendment Joint Work with PCD/ VEA and JET Enrichment of Technical Archives of PCD *Legalization by VN side Formulation of Technical Briefs (TBs) and Draft Legal Documents (DLD) Output 2 Roadmap to Develop AQM Scheme in Hanoi and HCM Cities Joint Work with DONREs of HNC/ HCMC, PCD/VEA, and JET Study on the current status on AQM in two cities Roadmap formulation for AQM scheme in cities to align the administrative requirements Figure 1 The Project Design Agreed in RD on 26th March 2013 DONREs of Hanoi city and HCMC have been performing the activities from the beginning of the Proejct especially on the Output 2 desinged in the above, through joint works with PCD of VEA as well as JICA Expert Team (JET). This report, Guidance for Formulating Air Quality Management Plan for Hanoi City, is one of the technical cooperation products generated under the Project having its objective below Objectives of the Report The revised LEP gives authority and responsibility to the DONRE in each city/ province to execute 1

10 Hanoi, Roadmap national policies, laws and regulations regarding environmental management and protection. In addition, the LEP defines the mandate to develop the environmental protection planning in not only national level but also city/ provincial level, which should include air pollution control and AQM. Although the instruction of the government regarding the environmental protection planning has not yet been provided to cities/ provinces as of the end of the Project, it is essential and meaningful for Hanoi city and HCMC to put the preparedness for formulating the protection plan focusing on air pollution control and AQM, by taking the chance of the Project in the cooperation with JICA. Under such understanding, the Project has proposed a roadmap to develop the AQM plan in Hanoi City and HCMC with the DONREs of the two cities as the main counterparts. The position of the roadmap under the Output 2 of the Project is shown in Figure 2 below, with indicating the overlook of the whole process of AQM planning and implementation.

11 Hanoi, Roadmap CHAPTER 2. OVERVIEW OF HANOI CITY, AIR QUALITY, AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT 2.1. Overview of Hanoi Current status Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam, the country s second largest city, and the largest one in North region of Vietnam. After the consolidation of ex-hanoi and surrounding provinces/ districts in August 2008, its area is 3,344 km 2 including 12 urban districts, 17 rural districts, and one township. The total population was 6,232,000 people of which urban people is 2,178,000 residents at the time of consolidation in 2008, and in 2013 the total population in Hanoi is around 6,937,000. Hanoi climate is classified as a warm humid subtropical feature. Hanoi belongs to the key economic region of North Vietnam. It is concentrated with important economic, social, and cultural institutions, for example, industrial estate, transport system (such as trunk roads, airport, and railway), hospital, university, market and so on. Hanoi is developing fast with high rate of urbanization by expansion of urban area to the surrounding suburb regions including industrialization expansion. In addition, the development of new transport system as well as renovation of existing infrastructure system has been implemented significantly. The administrative map of Hanoi is shown in Figure Socio-economic development plan to 2020 The master plan on socio-economic development of Hanoi city to 2020 with orientations toward 2030 has been approved by the Prime Minister via Decision No. 1081/QD-TTg issued on 6th July This master plan is a framework for the development of Hanoi city in near future and is a basis for building separate master plan for each field of concern, such as, land use, industry, transportation, energy, water supply, water treatment, and so on. The master plan will be used as a basis for assessment of socio-economic development of the city to its air quality in the future. 3

13 Hanoi, Roadmap 2.2. Current Air Pollution Sources and Air Quality Due to the availability of the existing data and information, the current status of point sources such as industrial sector and craft villages are depicted in more detail compared with the other sources in this section. In the course of formulating the air quality management plan according to the roadmap proposed in Chapter 3 of this report, the depth or exhaustiveness of the data collection and analysis is suggestive to be reconsidered Transportation activities Air emission from mobile sources, including on-road and off-road vehicles, could be considered as one of main air pollution sources in the city with regarding to high absolute number of vehicles and high density of vehicles on city roads. (1) Air pollution sources from transportation Considering vehicles registered in Hanoi, the number of licensed vehicles in recent years in Hanoi has been summarized in Table 1. It is noted that no information on a number of unused vehicles is available. In addition to registered vehicles, a number of unknown bicycles, electrical bicycles and electrical motorbikes are used mostly by students and pupils. Table 1 Number of licensed vehicles from 2010 to 2013 in Hanoi No. Year Car (x1000pc) Motorbike (x1000 pc) Total vehicle (x1000 pc) (Source: Compiled from Hanoi DOT, Vietnam Register (under MOT), DOPS, 2014) As a matter of fact, increasing rate for personal vehicles in Hanoi is estimated as 15% annually. (SOE, ). In addition, land is used for transportation accounts for only 7 8% of urban construction land (a reasonable request for a modern city is from 20 26%). Eventually, the higher density of vehicles on transportation road results in deterioration of transportation condition, which is characterized with slow moving of transport vehicles and traffic jams occurring in a high frequency. It is noted that vehicles moving unsteadily and in traffic jams would produce higher amount of pollutants. In addition, since Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam and the center of economy and culture for the North of Vietnam, it naturally becomes an important hub of national roads and expressway with very high traffic volume. Therefore, apart from a huge number of vehicles registered in Hanoi, there are a high number of vehicles from other regions travel from/to or pass through Hanoi. The following table lists several important roads connecting to Hanoi. Table 2 Important inter-region roads in Hanoi city.

In addition, construction activities for new transport system, renovation of existing transport, and other kind of infrastructure in Hanoi recently contributes to worse situation of transportation. The occupancy of roadway and sidewalk for building roads, bridge, viaduct and the repair of drainage system, water supply, electrical transmission and communication network underground will entail higher risk of traffic jams and slower movement of vehicles. These facts will lead to increase higher amount of air pollution caused by dust and pollutants from road section of traffic jam.

(2) Air quality at transportation roads In 2012, the Hanoi Centre for Environmental and Natural Resources Monitoring and Analysis (CENMA) under the DONRE conducted observations at 57 intersections in the city of Hanoi to monitor ambient air quality. Most monitoring sites showed CO level (average 1 hour) exceeding the regulated level (30,000 μg/m 3 in QCVN 05:2009/BTNMT). In rain season, there were 45 monitoring sites (79%) with CO concentrations exceeding corresponding QCVN level, while there were 49 exceeding sites (86%) in dry season. The highest level CO was measured at My Dinh bus station (Ring road No. 3, Bac Tu Liem district) (59,644 μg/m 3 ), the intersection at Nuoc Ngam bus station (Ring road No. 3 & National Road No. 1A, Hoang Mai district) (55,340 μg/m 3 ), Co Nhue intersection (Ring road No. 3, Bac Tu Liem district) (54,949 μg/m 3 ), foot of Pham Van Dong overpass bridge (Ring road No. 3, 46,732 μg/m 3 ), and Long Bien bus stops (Hoan Kiem district, 46,654 μg/m 3 ). 6

The highest level of SO 2 was observed at Co Nhue intersection (Ring road No. 3, Bac Tu Liem district, 648 μg/m 3 ), My Dinh bus station (Ring road No. 3, Bac Tu Liem district, 613 μg/m 3 ), National Road No. 6 toll booth (572 μg/m 3 ), Pham Van Dong foot bridge (Ring road No. 3, 520 μg/m 3 ), and Ba La 3-way intersection (National Road No. 6 & National Road No. 21B, 513 μg/m 3 ). Number of monitoring sites Number of monitoring sites Figure 6 Number of monitoring sites with NO 2 level exceeding QCVN from Figure 7 Number of monitoring sites with PM10 level exceeding QCVN from (Source: CENMA- SOE report 2012) All monitoring points in two monitoring times showed NO 2 level (average 1 hour) exceeding the regulated level (200 μg/m 3 in QCVN05:2013/BTNMT). The highest level of NO 2 was measured at My Dinh bus station (Ring road No. 3, Bac Tu Liem district, μg/m 3 ), National Road No. 6 toll booth (357.9 μg/m 3 ), Co Nhue intersection (Ring road No. 3, Bac Tu Liem district, μg/m 3 ), 7

16 Hanoi, Roadmap Chua Boc-Thai Ha Tay Son crossroads (340.6 μg/m3), and Cau Dien intersection (National road No. 32, Bac Tu Liem district, μg/m 3 ); Considering PM10, there were 56 monitoring sites (98%) having PM10 levels (average 24 h) exceeding the regulated level (150 μg/m 3 in QCVN 05:2009/BTNMT). The highest PM10 level was measured at Ba La 3-way intersection (681.1 μg/m 3 ), Co Nhue intersection (Bac Tu Liem district, μg/m 3 ), National Road No. 32 at Nhon (Bac Tu Liem district, μg/m 3 ), My Dinh bus station (Bac Tu Liem district, μg/m 3 ), and Long Bien bus stops (Hoan Kiem district, μg/m 3 ). Regarding Pb dust, in rainy season there was no site exceeding the regulated level (average 24 h) of QCVN 05:2009/BTNMT (1.5 μg/m 3 ). However, in monitoring time in dry season there were 2 monitoring sites (4%) showing Pb dust level exceeding the QCVN level, including Cau Dien crossroads (Bac Tu Liem district, 2.15 μg/m 3 ) and My Dinh bus station (1.786 μg/m 3 ). All monitoring sites in both monitoring times showed benzene level (average 1 h) exceeding the regulated level (22 μg/m 3 in QCVN 06: 2009/BTNMT). The highest level of benzene was measured at My Dinh bus station (Bac Tu Liem district, 46.1 μg/m 3 ), National Road No. 6 toll booth (46.0 μg/m 3 ), Truong Chinh Le Trong Tan-Ton That Tung crossroad (45.5 μg/m 3 ), Chua Boc-Thai Ha Tay Son (43.6 μg/m 3 ), and Nguyen Phong Sac Hoang Quoc Viet intersection (42.8 μg/m 3 ). Comparing the results measured at two monitoring times in 2012, it is shown that the trend of air pollution caused by traffic activities was similar in both seasons, especially for NO 2, SO 2, and benzene Industrial entities Air emission from industrial entities contributes a major part to the air quaity in the city. Hanoi is landed for a number of industrial zones and industrial clusters which is distributed in various districts. In addition, old industrial entities founded from 1970s are located in urban area of Hanoi and craft villages can be found in any district of the city. (1) Industrial zone The following table presents industrial parks which are either established or planned to be established in near future in Hanoi city. Table 4 Industrial parks in Hanoi city.

Monitoring program was implemented two periods, including period 1 (March and April 2012) and period 2 (June and July 2012). The TSP and benzene levels measured at industrial zones in Hanoi city are present in the below figures. The industrial zones in Hanoi, especially old industrial areas with old factories built from 70-80s years of the last century, are contaminated by dust and benzene. Whereas the industrial parks (IP) which were built recently and equipped mostly with modern infrastructure and techniques (e.g. exhaust treatment systems) have pollutant levels complying with QCVN. 10

20 Hanoi, Roadmap In addition, air emission from small and medium industrial clusters and craft villages was monitored. The craft villages in Hanoi are very diverse in terms of production, such as metal recycling, paper, plastic, bronze casting, construction materials, and food processing. The typical emission pollutants are dust, CO, SO 2, NO 2, acid and alkali vapor produced from processes like surface treatment, roasting, drying, bleaching, opaque plastic products, etc. In 2012, Hanoi CENMA conducted observations of 22 clusters and 43 craft villages in the city. Monitoring program was conducted in two periods, including period 1 (March to April) and period 2 (August to September). The monitoring results are presented in Figures below. µg/m 3 Figure 10 The concentration of TSP in the small and medium industrial clusters (Source: CENMA- SOE report 2012) µg/m 3 µg/m 3 Figure 11 TSP dust concentrations in the food processing villages (Source: CENMA- SOE report 2012) Figure 12 TSP dust concentrations in the mechanical villages 12

Recently, Hanoi is developing a number of new urban area and high building throughout its area, as listed as examples in the following table. Table 9 Several developing urban areas in Hanoi city. New urban area Area Location Tay Ho Tay 200 ha Tay Ho Kim Chung-Di Trach 170 ha Hoan Duc Thanh pho giao luu 95 ha Bac Tu Liem Co Nhue 18 ha Nam Tu Liem Source: Prepared by JET In addition, dust from transport of construction materials is another source of pollutant. Further, construction of road always accompanies with spread of dust on nearby roads. (2) Residential activities According to the annually report on the environmental status in Hanoi from 2006 to present, air emission from residential activities are relatively small compared with other pollution sources. Polluting agents are mainly dust, SO 2 and CO from burning firewood, straw, husk firewood (silt mixed with peat, rice husk, wood chips, etc.). The monitoring results of residential emissions in recent years by CENMA also confirmed that the current state of the environment report mentioned above is right (source: interview IWEET, 2014). (3) Agricultural activities According to the annually report on the environmental status in Hanoi from 2006 to present, agricultural operations often generate CH 4, CO 2 in the cultivation process using chemical fertilizers, and exhaust pesticides are as toxic emissions to the environment. Livestock emissions due to the decomposition of animal manure generate greenhouse gases such as CH 4 and CO 2 (SOE

23 Hanoi, Roadmap 2012). However, the impact of emissions from agricultural to urban areas is very small. According to SOE 2013 by MONRE, straw burning after harvest contributes gradually to the air pollution in Hanoi city, although it would be seasonally obvious. In recent years, farmers have no longer need to use straw as the fuel or feedstuffs, therefore, in many places, after harvesting and draining, people burn the straw. Straw burning does not only waste the energy, affects the traffic safety, it also has a big influence in term of environment and negative impact to people s health. Straw burning after harvest is popular in the northern area of Vietnam. Especially in Hanoi, the straw burning nearby after harvest cause the thick layer of burning smoke which negatively affects the air quality and visibility in the city. After several days, the thick smoke obviously affects many roads/ routes in the city with invisible conditions, although the street light is fully turn on. Dust and smoke generated by straw burning in the hot days also cause a muggy air and odorous nuisance Legal Framework for Air Quality Management in Hanoi National level (1) Management mechanism The following chart depicts environmental management administration related to air quality in Vietnam especially for MONRE and DONRE. The air quality management is administrated by VEA, and air pollution control is administrated by KKPL/PCD in VEA in national level.

47 HCMC, Roadmap CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Environmental pollution is getting obvious in Vietnam due to the rapid industrialization in the recent decade, and air pollution becomes an issue in the urban areas, especially in mega cities such as Hanoi city and Ho Chi Minh city (HCMC). It is concerned to trigger the health damage on people due to air pollution, unless effective countermeasures would be in practice. The Vietnam government has revised the Law on Environmental Protection (LEP) for the second time in June 2014, in order to tackle and control the environmental pollution including air pollution by introducing the more effective and enforceable administrative approach. In this context, the Project for Institutional Development of Air Quality Management in Vietnam (the Project) was launched from September 2013 in the close cooperation among PCD of VEA/ MONRE, DONREs of Hanoi city and HCMC, and JICA, in order to enhance the institutional capacity of air quality management in Vietnam. The Project was designed as shown below according to the Record of Discussion (RD) signed by MONRE and JICA on 26th March <Project Purpose> To Enhance the Institutional Capacity of Air Quality Management in Vietnam Output 1 Technical/ Institutional Development as Preparedness for LEP Amendment Joint Work with PCD/ VEA and JET Enrichment of Technical Archives of PCD *Legalization by VN side Formulation of Technical Briefs (TBs) and Draft Legal Documents (DLD) Output 2 Roadmap to Develop AQM Scheme in Hanoi and HCM Cities Joint Work with DONREs of HNC/ HCMC, PCD/VEA, and JET Study on the current status on AQM in two cities Roadmap formulation for AQM scheme in cities to align the administrative requirements Figure 1 The Project Design Agreed in RD on 26th March 2013 DONREs of Hanoi city and HCMC have been performing the activities from the beginning of the Proejct especially on the Output 2 desinged in the above, through joint works with PCD of VEA as well as JICA Expert Team (JET). This report, Guidance for Formulating Air Quality Management Plan for HCM City, is one of the technical cooperation products generated under the Project having its objective below. 1

48 HCMC, Roadmap 1.2. Objectives of the Report The revised LEP gives authority and responsibility to the DONRE in each city/ province to execute national policies, laws and regulations regarding environmental management and protection. In addition, the LEP defines the mandate to develop the environmental protection planning in not only national level but also city/ provincial level, which should include air pollution control and AQM. Although the instruction of the government regarding the environmental protection planning has not yet been provided to cities/ provinces as of the end of the Project, it is essential and meaningful for Hanoi city and HCMC to put the preparedness for formulating the protection plan focusing on air pollution control and AQM, by taking the chance of the Project in the cooperation with JICA. Under such understanding, the Project has proposed a roadmap to develop the AQM plan in Hanoi City and HCMC with the DONREs of the two cities as the main counterparts. The position of the roadmap under the Output 2 of the Project is shown in Figure 2 below, with indicating the overlook of the whole process of AQM planning and implementation.

49 The Project for Institutional Development of Air Quality Management in Vietnam HCMC, Roadmap CHAPTER 2. OVERVIEW OF HOCHIMINH CITY, AIR QUALITY, AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT 2.1. Overview of Ho Chi Minh City Current status Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is the country s largest city in terms of population and economy size. Its area is 2,297 km2, including 19 urban districts and 5 suburban districts. The total population is 7,955,000 people of which urban people is about 6,500,000 residents in Climate of HCMC is classified as a tropical wet and dry feature. HCMC is an economic center of Vietnam and belongs to the key economic region of South Vietnam. It is concentrated with important economic, social, and cultural institutions, for example, industrial estate, transport system (road, airport, railway), hospital, university, market and so on. HCMC is developing fast with high rate of urbanization by expansion of urban area to the surrounding suburb regions. In addition, the development of new transport system as well as renovation of existing infrastructure system is being implemented significantly. Figure 3 HCMC traffic network and neighboring provinces. 3

50 HCMC, Roadmap Socio-economic development plan to 2020 The master plan on socio-economic development of HCMC to 2020 with orientations toward 2025 has been approved by the Prime Minister via Decision No. 2631/QD-TTg issued on 31 December This master plan is a framework for the development of HCMC in near future and is a basis for building separate master plan for each field of concern, such as land use, industry, transportation, energy, water supply, water treatment, and so on. The master plan will be used as a basis for assessment of socio-economic development of the city to its air quality in the future Current Air Pollution Sources and Air Quality Transportation activities Air emission from mobile sources, including on-road and off-road vehicles, could be considered as one of main air pollution sources in the city with regarding to high absolute number of vehicles and high density of vehicles on city roads. (1) Air pollution sources from transportation In terms of vehicles registered in HCMC, the number of licensed vehicles from 2000 to 2013 has been summarized in Table 1. According to Vietnam Register, as of 1st January 2014, there are 13,387 disused cars in whole country according to Decrees No. 95/2009/NĐ-CP, of which there are 1,494 disused passenger vehicles and 1,030 disused freight vehicles in HCMC. There are no existing regulations on the usage life for motorcycles. In addition, a number of unknown bicycles, electrical bicycles and electrical motorbikes are used mostly by students and pupils.

As a matter of fact, increasing rate for personal vehicles in HCMC is estimated as 11% annually, as presented in Table 2 below. Land area used for transportation accounts for only 7 8% of urban construction land (a reasonable request for a modern city is from 20 26%). Eventually, the higher density of vehicles on transportation road results in bad quality of transportation, which is characterized with slow moving of transport vehicles and traffic jams occurring with a high frequency. It is noted that vehicles moving unsteadily and in traffic jams would produce higher 4

Table 2 Increasing rate for vehicles in HCMC in Period Increasing rate (%/year) Cars Motorcycle Total ,3 10,3 10, ,3 11,5 11, ,8 10,9 11, ,9 9,8 In addition, since HCMC is the economic center of Vietnam and the most important port for exporting/importing goods in South Vietnam, it naturally becomes an important hub of national roads and expressway with very high traffic volume. Therefore, apart from a huge number of vehicles registered in the city, a high number of vehicles from other regions travel from/to or pass through HCMC. The following table lists several important roads connecting to HCMC, as illustrated in Figure 2 below.

52 HCMC, Roadmap Figure 4 Planning of ring roads of HCMC (outer line is Ring road No. 4) In addition, construction of new transport system and renovation of existing transport and other kind of infrastructure in HCMC recently contributes to worse situation of transportation. The occupancy of roadway and sidewalk for building roads, bridge, viaduct and the repair of drainage system, water supply, electrical transmission and communication network underground will entail higher risk of traffic jams and slower movement of vehicles. These facts will lead to increase higher amount of air pollution caused by dust and pollutants from road section of traffic jam.

An Suong (AS) (District No. 12) 6. Nguyen Van Linh Huynh Tan Phat (District No. 7) The level of Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) was observed to be higher than QCVN 05:2013 many times in semi-automatic stations. The highest average value of TSP at AS station is 0.61 mg/m 3 (the value range mg/m 3 ). The value of CO at sampling times are almost lower than QCVN, only sometimes is higher than QCVN, at station GV (1.9%), at DTH station (1.4%), at AS station (1.4%), and at TT station (0.6%). At AS station, the highest value is higher than QCVN 1.3 times (6/6/2013 in the morning), at DTH station the highest value is higher than QCVN 1.26 times (7/6/2013 and 13/08/2013 in the morning) and at GV station the highest value is higher than QCVN 2.26 times (10/05/2013 in the afternoon) and 21/09/2013 in the afternoon (higher than 1.38 times). The value of NO 2 in sometimes is higher than QCVN 05:2013. The annual value of NO 2 at AS station and DTH station ia the same (0.19 mg/m 3 ) lower than QCVN 05:2013. The highest value of Pb at DTH station (0.41µg/m 3 ), at AS station (0.39µg/m 3 ), at PL station (0.38µg/m 3 ), at TT station (0.37µg/m 3 ), at GV station (0.33µg/m 3 ), HX (0.28 µg/m 3 ). Besides, the following shows the yearly trends of the concentration of some of the major air pollutants measured from 2010 to 2012 by CENMA of HCMC DONRE in 6 semi-automatc monitoring stations. 1) CO The yearly trend of CO concentration at 6 stations is shown in the figure below.

Further, construction of road always accompanies with spread of dust on nearby roads. (2) Others According to the annually report on the environmental status in HCMC, air emission from residential activities as well as agricultural activities are relatively small compared with other pollution sources Referential information of air quality monitoring A research institute under HCMC National University has been conducting the regular air quality monitoring from 2010 to 2013, at 12 stations as Industrial Zones (IZ)/ Processing Zones (PZ) and at 10 stations as residential areas around IZ/ PZ. The monitoring parameters are SO2, NOx, CO, Ozone, PM10, and Benzene, at every station with the frequency of twice a year. The locations of the above stations are shown in the previous figure (Figure 9), and the yearly trend of average concentration of respective air pollutants is depicted hereinafter. Although the Toluene and Xylene have been also measured regularly as parameters of VOCs, the measured values are not showing the serious findings. Thus these 2 parameters are omitted from the summary below. (1) Monitoring results in IZ/ PZ 1) SO2 in IZ/ PZ Monitoring result (figure below) showed that SO2 value in IZ/ PZ in 2013 was much lower than limits of QCVN 05:2013, 24 hour average (125µg/m3). SO2 value fluctuated from µg/m3, lower from 1.24 to 5.03 times in comparison with limits of QCVN 05:2013, 24 hour average. SO2 value in 2013 was higher than it in 2011 at 8/12 monitoring points from times. Similarly, SO2 in 2013 was higher than it in 2012 at 8/12 monitoring points from times. Hiep Phuoc IZ had the lowest SO2 value of 24.84µg/m3. This can be explained that Hiep Phuoc IZ has big area of green trees and been located near big river, so big wind and free space are favorable conditions for the spreading and limiting bad impact of air emission. SO2 measured in 2013 tended to increase against 2012 and 2011, at the same time the minimum value of SO2 increased rapidly by time (min value was 12.90µg/m3 in 2012 and µg/m3 in 2013). 15

The highest value of NOx measured in North West Cu Chi IZ reached µg/m3. Binh Chieu IZ had the lowest NOx value of 15.19µg/m3. When comparing the measurement data in 2013 against 2011, NOx value was 2.01 time higher at 1/12 measurement points. Comparing the measurement data in 2013 against 2012, NOx value was 1.16 to 2.67 time higher at 3/12 measurement points. The NOx value tended to increase rapidly by time in some IZs (Ex: North West Cu Chi IZ). However, all values were still within the allowable limits of QCVN. The monitoring data has also shown that, NOx value increased at rush hours (time that workers come to work and leave work)due to the high traffic volume, after the rush hours, the NOx value became stable again. 16

Measurement value of CO in 2013 fluctuated from 94.5 to µg/m3 (QCVN 05:2013, 24 hour average is 10,000 µg/m3). The highest CO value measured in Linh Trung 2 IZ reached µg/m3. Tan Thoi Hiep IZ had the lowest CO value of µg/m3. CO value in 2013 was not remarkably higher than 2011 value, only from times at 6/12 measurement points. Similarly, CO value in 2013 was higher than 2012 from 1.02 to 2.13 times at 8/12 measurement points. Thus, CO value measured in 2013 tended to increase slightly by time (CO value in 2013 increased slightly against 2011 in some IZ/ PZs like in North West Cu Chi IZ). However, Co value measured in the ambient air in IZs/ PZs in HCMC was still lower than allowable limit of QCVN. The above results also reflected that CO tended to increase by time at 8/12 monitoring points. 17

Of which, the highest Ozone value measured in Tan Tao IZ and the lowest Ozone value was found in Tan Thuan IZ. Comparing with QCVN 05:2013, (allowable limit: 120 µg/m3, 8 hour average) Ozone value was higher from 1.16 to 1.41 time at 6/12 measurement points.

PM10 value measured at 12 monitoring points in 2013 fluctuated from µg/m3. Air pollution caused by dust in IZs/ PZs in 2013 did not vary equally at all monitoring points. Monitoring results over years showed that PM10 pollution increased by times at 7/12 IZs/ PZs and reduced at 5/12 IZs/ PZs. This was clearly proved when we compare PM10 data in recent years. PM10 value measured in 2012 showed that 5/12 IZs/ PZs had dust value exceeding QCVN, similarly, 5/12 IZs/ PZs had dust value exceeding QCVN. However, position / location of QCVN exceeding points in 2012 were different with This monitoring result showed that, IZs/ PZs with dust value exceeding QCVN were located near traffic routes or in residential areas such as Tan Binh IZ which is located in high residential area. The highest PM10 value was measured in Tan Binh IZ and the lowest PM10 value was measured in Binh Chieu IZ. These results sounded reasonably because Tan Binh IZ was impacted by traffic, living and internal activities inside the IZ, besides, Hip Phuoc IZ also had PM10 value exceeding QCVN because this is the location of many cement factories. Together with Ozone, fine dust (PM10) and total dust are alarming pollutants in HCMC. PM10 value exceed QCVN in many places. The high PM 10 value will create a great impact to community s health. Therefore, it is necessary to apply measures to limit PM10 value in the atmosphere. Monitored data in 2013: BC CL HP LMX LTI LTII TB TT TTH TTh TBCC VL Figure 10 (5) PM10 Value in IZ/ PZ in/ near HCMC from 2010 to 2013 Source: Subcontract report prepared by IER, ) Benzene in IZ/ PZ In 2013, benzene concentration met allowable limits of QCVN in all monitoring points. Benzene concentration in 2013 fluctuated from 0.53 to µg/m3, however, the Benzene concentration in Tan Thuan IZ was still rather high, though it was still within allowable limits. In 2010, 2011, and 2012, 1/12 IZs/ PZs had Benzene value exceeding QCVN, but in 2013 no IZ/ PZ exceeded QCVN 19

66 HCMC, Roadmap in term of Benzene concentration. Specifically, Tan Thuan IZ had a decreasing Benzene concentration from 2010 up to now (2010: 33.6 µg/m3; 2011: µg/m3, 2012: µg/m3, 2013: µg/m3). Figure 10 (6) Benzene Value in IZ/ PZ in/ near HCMC from 2010 to 2013 Source: Subcontract report prepared by IER, 2014 (2) Monitoring results in residential areas around IZ/ PZ 1) SO2 in residential areas According to the figure below, SO2 value in urban zones and residential zones around IZs/ PZs in 2012 fluctuated from 8.11 to µg/m3, was lower than QCVN 05: 2013 from 1.42 to times (QCVN for 24 hour average: 125 µg/m3). The result also showed that the SO2 concentration was high in places with high traffic volume. However SO2 value in the air in 6/12 monitoring points met with allowable limit. In general, the measurement results in 6/12 monitoring points in 2013 were higher than results in 2012 from 1.24 to 2.65 times. Among them, SO2 value in Tan Binh Son Ky high residential zone increased rather fast, 2.45 time higher than 2012 and time higher than This proved that SO2 value was increasing by time in residential zones around IZ/ PZ. 20

In these points, the NOx value fluctuated from 11.9 to µg/m3. The lowest NOx value of µg/m3 was found in A10 (Phu My Hung). The reason is Phu My Hung is a wide zone with many opened spaces leading to an easy pollution spreading away. The highest NOx of µg/m3 was measured in A1 (RZ near Hiep Phuoc IZ). NOx value in all monitoring points was lower than allowable limit of QCVN 05:2013 from 3.93 to 8.94 times. Comparing measurement data in 2013 against that in 2011, NOx value in 10/10 monitoring points was lower from 1.27 to 4.2 times.

68 HCMC, Roadmap 3) CO in residential areas CO measured in 2013 showed that CO valued in all residential zones was similar to CO value in IZs/ PZs. In 2013, CO value fluctuated from to 2,400.5 µg/m3, measured data in all monitoring point was lower than QCVN 05: 2013 from 4.17 to times (allowable limits: 10,000 µg/m3 8 hour average). CO is the main output of the incomplete combustion process, transportation vehicles are the main pollution sources. In general, monitoring result of 5/10 residential zones in 2013 was higher than measurement valued in 2012 and there were 4/10 monitoring points having higher result compared to This result showed that CO value was increasing by time. Figure 10 (9) CO Value in residential areas near IZ/ PZ from 2010 to 2013 Source: Subcontract report prepared by IER, ) Ozone in residential areas Ozone measured in 2013 showed that Ozone valued in all residential zones was similar to CO value in IZs/ PZs. In 2013, Ozone value fluctuated from to µg/m3, measured data in all monitoring point was lower than QCVN 05: 2013 from 1.04 to 2.49 times. The highest Ozone value of µg/m3 was measured in A9 (An Phu). The lowest Ozone value of µg/m3 was measured in A6 (Tan Binh Son Ky). In general, monitoring result of 4/10 residential zones in 2013 was 1.02 to 1.05 times higher than measurement valued in Among monitoring points, A6 (Tan Binh Son Ky) was concerned of Ozone situation because though Ozone value here still met QCVN, it kept increasing year by year. 22

PM10 value measured in RZs is fluctuating from to µg/m3. Of which, 1/10 ambient air monitoring points in RZs in 2013 had PM10 value exceeding QCVN 05: 2013 about 1.25 time (allowable limit: 150 µg/m3). The highest PM10 value of µg/m3 was measured in LE Minh Xuan (A2), and the lowest PM10 value of µg/m3 was measured in Tan Binh near Son Ky residential building (A5). The PM10 value in Le Minh Xuan was high because the measurement point was near traffic route with high traffic volume, so the measurement value was effected strongly.
