Hà Nội launches online air quality index
Hà Nội People’s Committee on January 9 launched an online service with information about weather conditions and environment indexes, including air quality index, rainfall and flooding. The page, hanoi.gov.vn/quantracmoitruong, is part of the People’s Committee efforts to turn the capital into a greener, smarter and friendlier city. It is also aimed at helping residents and tourists plan activities, and raising public awareness of environmental protection. The city has built ten air monitoring stations, two of which will provide updated air quality data, and the other eight will serve the study, management and modelisation of air quality. The city also set up a rainfall measuring system and data transferring system at 22 locations across the city.
