Previously, it was noted that Mr. Le Thai Hoat's family in Tan My village, Dong Son commune, Bac Giang city (Bac Giang) had lived for many years about 100m from the coal gathering site of Bac Giang Trading Joint Stock Company. Mr. Hoat said that in recent years, the transportation and exploitation of coal by this Company in the Thuong River area has made people in Tan My village miserable because of environmental pollution from coal dust.

“In the dry season, hot sun and cold north wind blow up, causing fine dust from coal transportation to fly everywhere in the houses of people living about 100 - 200m away. Even though we clean and sweep the house every day, we still cannot remove all the dust from coal transportation,” Mr. Hoat said indignantly.

Mr. Le Thai Hoat in Tan My village, Dong Son commune, Bac Giang city pointed out the environmental pollution caused by coal mining activities.

Coal dust falls heavily, creating thick layers of dirt on the roads, making it very difficult for people to travel and participate in traffic.

In addition, the large convoys of trucks operating in and out busily cause local residents to often "lose sleep and appetite". Even more dangerous is the movement of coal trucks on the dike, posing a potential traffic safety risk during peak hours when students and workers are leaving school and returning home from work.
