Evaluate the characteristics of microplastic at Environment Water of Nhue - Day River system in Hanoi, Vietnam
Abstract. Microplastics (MPs) in the environment have significantly impacted ecosystems and threatened human health. This study investigated the distribution and characteristics of MPs in the Nhue- Day River basin in Vietnam, which used to be a source of critical biodiversity and support for the economic growth of about 12 million people. The effect of seasonal variation and anthropogenic activities on the MP abundance was assessed. The findings revealed that the amount of pollution produced by MP abundance was significant in this study area. The average abundance of MPs in the dry season (754 items/m3) was higher than that in the rainy season (706 items/m3) with n=9. The range in the abundance of MPs in the dry and rainy seasons was 49-2,827 and 400-1,133 items/m3, respectively. The MPs collected in this study were mainly small-sized particles, with a significant proportion distributed in the 0.5- 2.0 mm size range. However, the present study showed that the relationship between MPs a

Monitoring the ash disposal site of the thermal power plant using remote sensing technology
Researchers of the National Remote Sensing Department have successfully researched and applied remote sensing technology in monitoring a number of environmental parameters in a thermal power plant, and at the same time developed and proposed suitable technologies to monitor PM10, PM2.5 pollution in the air, temperature and suspended solid content in water and fluctuations in ash disposal site and its cover at the area of the thermal power plant.
