Faced with the above situation, in order to tighten environmental safety and hygiene management at construction works, Hanoi City has issued Decision 68/2025, requiring construction units to fully implement environmental sanitation regulations, from waste collection, transportation to treatment; at the same time, minimize dust, noise, vibration, not to affect the lives of people around.
Experts recommend that when the air quality index reaches the hazardous level (AQI 301 500), people should minimize going out, temporarily stop outdoor activities and switch to indoor activities. Close your doors to avoid contact with pollution. For sensitive groups, the recommendation is even more strict: absolutely do not go out and ensure the indoor environment is airy and safe.
