Description
Summary:The air quality in Ho Chi Minh City is deteriorating due to the increase in population, personal transport, industrial parks and emissions from residential areas and a few other factors and as a result, these things affect human health quite seriously. However, studies on effects of air pollution on people's health here are still quite few. This paper will analyze the overall situation of pollution in this city, and based on previous research, we will have an overview as well as assess the health impact of the air pollution. The paper also discusses the mutual relationships between researchers and policy makers in monitoring air quality and protecting human health. From comparisons with other countries, a number of proposals were discussed to assess the risk of pollution and the enhancement of research as well as possible policies to improve the health of the citizens in the city.
