HANOI: Toxic smog has returned to Vietnam’s capital, blanketing the city and prompting authorities to urge residents with respiratory conditions to stay indoors while setting out urgent measures to tackle air pollution.
Hanoi authorities plan to use remote monitoring systems, including security cameras and AI-integrated traffic cameras, to track and clamp down on polluting or expired vehicles, and the illegal burning of garbage, straw and agricultural by-products, according to a statement on the local government website.
