    Hanoi is in the days of serious air pollution, a thick layer of fine dust covers the city, causing streets and high-rise buildings to sink into gray.

    Nhung ngay gan day, Ha Noi lien tuc nam trong nhom cac thanh pho o nhiem khong khi nhat the gioi.
    In recent days, Hanoi has been continuously in the group of the most polluted cities in the world.
    Lop bui min day dac bao phu duong pho, cao oc va cac khu dan.
    A thick layer of fine dust covers the streets, high slopes and residential areas.
    Tu cac truc duong lon den khu noi do, tam nhin bi giam ro ret, nhieu toa nha cao tang gan nhu bien mat trong lop mu o nhiem.
    From major roads to the inner city, visibility is significantly reduced, many high-rise buildings almost disappear in the fog.

    The weather is cold and dry with daytime temperatures ranging from 1924 degrees Celsius, while at night and early morning it drops to 1214 degrees Celsius. The large temperature difference between day and night creates conditions for the phenomenon of non-termication, causing fine dust PM2.5 to not be able to diffuse to the atmosphere higher. As a result, pollutants are retained close to the ground, covering the city for a long time.

    Many people are concerned that this prolonged condition will greatly affect respiratory health, especially for young children, the elderly and people with chronic diseases.

    In the face of bad developments in air quality, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Manh Quyen has just requested departments, branches and localities to deploy a series of emergency pollution control measures. The Department of Education and Training is assigned to notify and instruct schools to minimize outdoor activities when air quality is at "bad" level or higher.
    Cac chuyen gia y te cung dua ra canh bao tuong tu. Khi chi so AQI tu 301 den 500 - muc “nguy hai”, nguoi dan nen han che toi da viec ra ngoai va dung toan bo hoat dong ngoai troi.

    Medical experts also issued a similar warning. When the AQI is from 301 to 500 - the "harmful" level, people should minimize going out and stop all outdoor activities. Houses and offices should be closed to avoid fine dust intrusion. For sensitive groups such as respiratory patients, pregnant women, children and the elderly, the recommendation is even more severe: absolutely do not go out and ensure that indoor living spaces are always airy, clean and safe.
