A Transition From
Sustainable Packaging to Plastic
Littering is Common
From -

• Motorbikes
• Cars
• Shops
• Markets
• Trucks
• Home Windows
“Balayeur de Rue”
to the Rescue?
Improperly Disposed Waste Has
  Varied and Serious Impacts
Government Has Goals,
             But Challenges Continue
• Recycle, burn for energy, or turn into fertilizer, 85% of waste by 2025
BUT…
• Lack of fertilizer conversion facilities
• 80% of VN landfills are unhygienic and leach untreated wastewater
• Recycling plants
  • 90% no environmental officer
  • 94% no waste water treatment
  • 84% no waste gas treatment

Vietnam Air Pollution is Harmful
• Direct affects - asthma, emphysema, heart disease, cancer
• Indirect affects – particulates settling onto farmland and water
• 42,200 early deaths in 2015
• 2017 daily average = 2x worse than national standard and 5x
  worse than WHO standard
• Days violating national standards = 99
• Days violating WHO standards = 257
• Average AQI = 103
Causes Are Diverse,
      With Some Specific Drivers
1. Seasons
2. Coal fired power plants (20 around Hanoi - especially Quang Ninh)
3. Industrial emissions
4. Personal vehicles (5.5 million)
5. Construction
6. Rice chaff and stalks
7. Trash
8. Coal and charcoal burning for kitchen hearths (being phased out)
9. Prayer offerings
10. Cigarettes
Get an App, a Filter, and a Good Mask
Vietnam Government Has A Plan
June 2016, “National Action Plan for Air Quality Management
Until 2020”

70 more air quality monitoring stations

64 more coal plants approved but considering wind/solar

Hanoi Is Experiencing Some
           Serious Water Woes
• Ho Tay 2017 - 200 tons of fish

Eutrophication + Sewage + Phosphates from Detergents  plankton
                   blooms  oxygen depletion

• Hoan Kiem and Nui Coc reservoir- Cyanobacteria, cyanotoxins
                 (HABs Harmful Algal Blooms)
GoV Has Several
Remediation
Efforts For Lakes
•   Floating vegetated islands
•   Flocculants
•   Beneficial microorganisms
•   Water exchanges, fountains,
    aeration pipes
An Old Complex
   Drainage System
1) Stormwater 2) household greywater
3) septic tank overflow 
streams and canals
112 lakes
To Lich, Kim Nguu, Set, Lu, Nhue,
and Red Rivers
Ocean
Over 80% of Hanoi Households
  Use Groundwater for Tap Water
• Ammonia at 6 to 18 times the
  maximum allowable
• Arsenic at 2 to 3 times the maximum
  allowable
• Widespread contamination including
  E. coli bacteria
GoV Has Ambitious Goals
• Provide 90% of the urban population with access to safe drinking
  water

• Collect and treat 100% of the urban wastewater by 2020
GoV Plans to Improve Both
        Water Supply and Treatment
• Use water from the Da, Red,
  and Duong Rivers
• Yen So treatment plant – 1/2
  of Hanoi’s waste water
• Eight additional wastewater
  treatment plants
For Hanoi To Be Classed As A
Green And Clean City By 2030, It
Must -
1. Expand its green spaces
2. Reform and modernize its solid waste collection and treatment
   processes
3. Reduce air pollution from all sources
4. Remediate and protect its lakes, rivers and canals
5. Continue on the path of fully remediating its municipal
   wastewater releases
