According to information from the IQAir website, at 9:00 a.m. on November 12, the air quality index (AQI) in Hanoi reached 229, indicating an unhealthy level of pollution. |
 |
Even in the Tay Ho area (Hanoi) alone, the air quality index (AQI) recorded a high level of 336-398. This air quality can potentially affect people's health, especially those with respiratory problems and chronic diseases. |

From above, the West Lake area is shrouded in thick fog. |
   |
The road along West Lake is still foggy at nearly 9am, no sun in sight. People exercising must wear masks to protect their health. |
 |
The thick air made it possible for people to observe the buildings only from a close distance. |
 |
Kim Ma street area towards the central area at 8 o'clock, many buildings appear and disappear in the mist. |
 |
Smoke and dust from vehicles combined with air pollution always pose a potential risk to health, especially to the respiratory system of the elderly and children. |
 |
Many people have to wear tight masks to avoid inhaling dust. |
 |
In addition, open burning of garbage, use of honeycomb coal and other activities also emit many pollutants, contributing to increasing the level of air pollution. (Image recorded above at To Lich River - near Cau Giay intersection at 8:30 this morning). |

Le Huu Khuong (Cau Giay District) shared: "These past few days, every time I go out, I see garbage being burned on the side of the road. I feel very uncomfortable. I think that smoke and dust not only affect health but also reduce the quality of life." |
 |
Traffic congestion is also one of the causes contributing to air pollution, when vehicles stop or move slowly, increasing the amount of toxic emissions into the environment. |
 |
The hazy sky for many days has made many people in the capital worried about health issues. |
 |
The buildings seem to "hide" in the mist. |
 |
The Department of Health Environment Management (Ministry of Health) recommends that when the air quality index is at a bad level (AQI from 150 to 200), people should limit outdoor activities or participate in strenuous physical activities. |
