00:00:03.355 --> 00:00:07.645 
In recent days, air quality in Hanoi has
remained at a very poor level, causing 

00:00:07.645 --> 00:00:09.075 
many concerns about public health. 

00:00:09.075 --> 00:00:12.969 
Experts say this situation comes from
many different sources of emissions such 

00:00:12.969 --> 00:00:15.240 
as industry, transportation,
agriculture, construction activities and 

00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.835 
the incineration of household
waste in residential areas. 

00:00:18.395 --> 00:00:22.586 
Although air quality is at an alarming
level, in areas of Hanoi, spontaneous 

00:00:22.586 --> 00:00:23.875 
garbage burning still occurs. 

00:00:23.875 --> 00:00:28.087 
On the morning of December 3, on Pham Tu
Street towards Tan Trieu Ca Hospital, 

00:00:28.087 --> 00:00:30.895 
reporters recorded the situation of
garbage spreading along the road. 

00:00:31.375 --> 00:00:35.140 
Many piles of garbage were burned,
leaving behind large black fires. Some 

00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:36.395 
points are still smoldering. 

00:00:37.155 --> 00:00:41.295 
At the same time, two scrap collectors
came here to pick up old electric wires 

00:00:41.295 --> 00:00:42.675 
to burn for copper core. 

00:00:43.375 --> 00:00:46.509 
Despite seeing polluted weather, they
still think that their actions do not 

00:00:46.509 --> 00:00:48.075 
have much impact on the environment. 

00:00:52.782 --> 00:00:55.442 
too toxic, too toxic 

00:00:55.442 --> 00:00:58.022 
If she had just one mushroom, it would
only be a little to avoid eating it all 

00:00:58.975 --> 00:01:04.549 
In the area near Hoa Mai public
kindergarten, Ha Dong ward, spontaneous 

00:01:04.549 --> 00:01:07.335 
garbage dumping and
incineration also occurred. 

00:01:07.801 --> 00:01:12.401 
I lay there when I went in and burned
the copper, so I burned it. 

00:01:12.661 --> 00:01:16.696 
I look at the sky but it is messy, it is
dry, then I burn it to make 

00:01:16.696 --> 00:01:18.041 
it clean, to make it wide. 

00:01:18.301 --> 00:01:21.195 
The pepper she said was better than
leaving it lying around, it 

00:01:21.195 --> 00:01:22.401 
was already rotten and desolate. 

00:01:22.641 --> 00:01:25.461 
So did the planting. 

00:01:26.241 --> 00:01:27.261 
It's also dirty. 

00:01:27.521 --> 00:01:31.177 
The people around here grow vegetables
and often burn them. 

00:01:31.177 --> 00:01:33.869 
According to the people, the situation
of dumping and burning garbage in this 

00:01:33.869 --> 00:01:35.113 
area has existed for many years. 

00:01:35.533 --> 00:01:38.663 
The pungent smell from fires causes
discomfort and injections pose a hidden 

00:01:38.663 --> 00:01:41.533 
risk of affecting health, especially for
young children and the elderly. 

00:01:41.618 --> 00:01:45.958 
This situation has been going on for a
long time, I have to wear this mask when passing by 

00:01:45.958 --> 00:01:50.998 
And there are times when they burn up,
smoke up, which greatly affects people's health 

00:01:50.998 --> 00:01:52.558 
Especially recent students 

00:01:52.558 --> 00:01:57.538 
Currently, Hanoi is polluted, and
that's all. 

00:01:57.538 --> 00:02:05.598 
And here, we burn more garbage, then it
increases the unhealthy emissions 

00:02:05.598 --> 00:02:10.041 
I hope that the above trees will pay
attention to cleaning up and pay 

00:02:10.041 --> 00:02:13.849 
attention to those who come to burn or
dump garbage here, they 

00:02:13.849 --> 00:02:15.118 
must be handled immediately 

00:02:15.638 --> 00:02:20.018 
Here it is an educational environment,
children are the mouth of the young 

00:02:20.018 --> 00:02:23.538 
It is very dangerous in the problem
and it is toxic 

00:02:23.538 --> 00:02:25.718 
So this area has been around for a long time 

00:02:25.718 --> 00:02:31.438 
People often dump garbage here and burn
it, it is very polluted 

00:02:31.438 --> 00:02:34.429 
Some of them are already
household-owned, some of the 

00:02:34.429 --> 00:02:35.758 
agencies are also here. 

00:02:35.758 --> 00:02:37.418 
It's very dirty 

00:02:37.418 --> 00:02:40.138 
Therefore, people often burn it,
which is very dangerous 

00:02:40.138 --> 00:02:43.278 
At times when they pick up and drop off
their children, parents are very crowded 

00:02:43.278 --> 00:02:47.858 
It's smoke when even parents complain,
not just when going to school 

00:02:47.858 --> 00:02:51.338 
The teachers' school has also submitted
a petition and a report 

00:02:51.338 --> 00:02:55.553 
So the ward still has this situation
that has not been handled, 

00:02:55.553 --> 00:02:56.958 
it is very difficult 

00:02:57.623 --> 00:03:00.621 
Spontaneous garbage burning not only
causes dust and burning smell to 

00:03:00.621 --> 00:03:01.983 
continue to engulf residential areas, 

00:03:02.343 --> 00:03:06.063 
but also aggravated the level of
pollution that was already at the alarming threshold of Hanoi. 

00:03:06.503 --> 00:03:11.203 
Experts warn that if there are no
measures to check, handle cracks and raise people's awareness, 

00:03:11.203 --> 00:03:15.023 
Air quality will continue to decline,
causing many health consequences.
