Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recommend the consumption of less than 2,000 mg of sodium/day to reduce blood pressure and the risk of conditions such as cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease. The sodium intake among Vietnamese was reported to be 7,200 mg/d or more. Free L-glutamate enhances flavor when it is added to food and improves the taste of sodium-reduced foods.

- The study examines microplastic (MP) occurrence in river sediments from three urban rivers in Vietnam's Red River Delta, discovering significant variability in MP concentrations ranging from 1,600 to 94,300 items per kilogram.
- Microplastics were primarily found in fiber form, made mostly of polypropylene and polyethylene, with no notable seasonal effect on their distribution.
- A trend was identified showing that higher microplastic concentrations correlated with areas of high organic matter and population density, indicating potential hotspots for microplastics in urban river environments.
