PM pollution is a major global concern, especially in Vietnam, due to its harmful effects on health and the environment. Monitoring local PM levels is crucial for assessing air quality. However, Vietnam's state-of-the-art (SOTA) dataset with a 3 km resolution needs to be revised to depict spatial variation in smaller regions accurately.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), fine particulate matter (PM), a key component reflecting air quality, is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide after cardiovascular disease, smoking, and diet. Various research efforts have aimed to develop PM forecasting models that can be integrated into a solution to mitigate the adverse effects of air pollution.

Application of dispersion modelling can help but is hindered by the local scarcity of suitable input data.

The AQMN is made up of six air pollution monitoring stations spread over the city (Traffic, Residential, and Industrial). Each station measures the same contaminants in the air, including PM, TSP, NO, SO, O, CO, and two meteorological factors, temperature and humidity.

Can Tho city in the Mekong Delta is in the top ten areas affected by climate change. Therefore, assessing climate change impacts, social and economic activities require proposed solutions to respond to climate change. This study aims to (i) apply the MIKE 11 model (Hydrodynamic module and Advection-Dispersion module) to simulate the impacts of climate change scenarios on water resources in Can Tho city; (ii) calculate water balance in Can Tho city; and (iii) suggest climate change adaptation plan for sustainable social-economic activities of the city.

This study aims at developing a new approach that combines data-driven models and interpolation technique to develop the PM concentration maps from meteorological factors for the central area of Hanoi. Data-driven models that relate the PM concentration with the meteorological factors at the air quality monitoring stations in the study area were developed using the Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithms.

These high pollutant concentrations have destroyed the human health of people in HCMC. Many zones in HCMC can't receive more air pollutants.
