The aim of this study is to assess the spatiotemporal variation, sources, and health impacts of the carbonyl compounds (carbonyls) in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), the third-most populous city in Southeast Asia. Sampling was conducted according to the US.EPA Method TO-11A, from 2012 to 2016 in both the dry and the rainy seasons at twelve sites.

- Particulate-bound mercury (PBM) is a significant global environmental issue due to its impact on both terrestrial and marine ecosystems, particularly in urban areas like Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam, where the first PBM concentration study was conducted.
- In 2018, 222 samples were collected in HCMC, revealing an average PBM concentration of 67.3 ± 45.9 pg/m³ and a mercury (Hg) mass fraction of 1.18 ± 1.12 μg/g, showing that while PBM levels were lower than in some Chinese cities, the Hg mass fraction was similar, emphasizing the enrichment from local anthropogenic sources.
- The study indicated that traffic
Microplastic pollution has become a worldwide concern. However, studies on the distribution of microplastics (MPs) from inland water to the ocean and their affiliated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are still limited in Vietnam. In this study, we investigated the distribution of MPs and PAHs associated with MPs in canals, Saigon River, and Can Gio Sea.
