No widespread air pollution occurs
According to the Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DONRE), the monitoring results in 2019 showed that the air quality in the province was generally good, which shows that Dong Nai has not faced a large-scale air pollution yet, but local air pollution has occurred, especially dust pollution in some areas, quite serious in the area around the quarry in the province.
In addition, local dust pollution also occurs at some intersections with high vehicle concentration at peak hours and in areas where industrial clusters are concentrated. Specifically, the results of the monitoring of air quality in September 1919 showed that, at some times of monitoring the area around industrial clusters such as Slope 47, Phuoc Tan (Bien Hoa City); Ho Nai 3 (Trang Bom district) and Tan An (Vinh Cuu district) occurred local dust pollution.

Accordingly, the Provincial People's Committee assigns DONRE to focus on improving the capacity of gas emission management and control in production facilities, focusing on emission control; increasing the frequency of monitoring the air environment in the periodic monitoring program and the system of automatic, continuous monitoring stations, fixed at intersections and areas with hazardous air quality
At the same time, it is necessary to inspect the compliance with environmental protection regulations during the operation of production and business establishments; inspect and require subjects to install automatic monitoring equipment to perform the installation. In particular, the Provincial People's Committee also requires public air quality monitoring results to be publicized. Deputy Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Vo Van Chanh also requested the Department of Transport to strengthen the control of vehicles, take measures to regulate and reduce the pressure load at the main intersections in the province in order to reduce vehicle density, limit the increase of air pollution during peak hours.
According to the Department of Environmental Protection, the province has a concentrated industrial development with many industrial clusters, so the environmental protection issue, including the air environment, has always been focused by Dong Nai.
According
to the Sub-Department of Environmental Protection, in 2019, air monitoring was
conducted at 126 monitoring locations including: Ground area, surrounding area
of industrial zones, area around industrial clusters, residential areas, etc.,
with the frequency of observation every 2 months. In the near future, the
number of monitoring locations will be increased to 149.
