According to our data, millions of people in Vietnam are depending on air pollution data to inform their decisions on daily activities. However, only 116 air quality stations are active throughout the country. The Vietnam Community Air Monitoring Program aims to increase publicly available real-time air quality data with community deployed, low-cost air quality monitors in Vietnam.
The real-time data generated will be verified and displayed on the IQAir AirVisual platform, including the app and website and the United Nations Environmental Programme website. It is intended to bring increased knowledge and engagement to the community and community representatives and act as a catalyst for more actions to fight air pollution and its harmful health consequences.
