The tributaries of the Buong River (Bi Stream, Tu Hoa Sluice, Cau Quan Stream, and Don Stream) are contaminated with organic and nutritional substances. Phenol and heavy metal parameters such as lead and zinc at Tu Hoa Sluice tend to decrease and are not found to exceed the standard threshold compared to previous monitoring periods.
