It is regrettable that Hanoi, where I’m living, is negatively affected by pollution and the major environmental problems it is facing are water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution.

There are various reasons why this city is badly polluted. Firstly, due to modernization, more and more vehicles such as cars and motorbikes are used. This leads to an increase in exhaust emissions which contaminate the atmosphere, not to mention the rising level of noise pollution. Secondly, factories and industrial zones in the city have discharged a huge amount of untreated waste into rivers, causing death to many fish and other aquatic animals.

In fact, pollution makes people here less healthy, and some even suffer from life-threatening diseases such as lung cancer, skin cancer, and so on. Therefore, the government must deal with this problem right away. Cutting down on vehicle use is the best way to reduce air pollution and noise pollution. We can do this by encouraging people to use public transportation. Besides, those who litter should pay a heavy fine. Finally, I think the best solution is to raise awareness and educate people to protect the environment.

Currently, environmental pollution is a hot topic in the newspapers and receives a lot of attention from the people. In particular, the problem of water pollution in Vietnam has been becoming more and more serious. Through the media, we can easily see images, as well as articles reflecting the current environmental situation. Although departments, unions make efforts to call for environmental protection, water resources protection, ... it seems that it is not enough to improve the situation of increasing pollution.

The status of planning of urban areas not linked to the problem of waste treatment, wastewater treatment, ... still exists in big cities, industrial zones, urban areas. .. the environmental box is at an alarming level. It is estimated that out of a total of 183 industrial parks in the country, over 60% of industrial zones do not have a centralized wastewater treatment system. In urban areas, only about 60% - 70% of solids are collected, infrastructure for drainage and wastewater treatment, solids cannot answer the requirements for environmental protection. Most of the wastewater discharged from oil and grease, chemicals, cleaning chemicals, ... is not treated regularly to natural rivers and lakes. An example has been balanced by concern, in the case of the Thi River being polluted by chemicals leaving the house of the Vedan MSG company for 14 consecutive years.
