Unclean air: Study finds pollution at dangerous level in Ho Chi Minh City’s new urban areas

A new study from Ho Chi Minh City’s environment department has found an increase in dust and toxic gas in many urban areas, warning that motorbike riders can be exposed to major health risks. 
 
According to local media, the environment observation and analysis center measured the dust and carbon monoxide concentration and noise across the city. Although the situation looks brighter in the downtown, it has worsened in new urban areas in Districts 7 and Go Vap.
