1. Since September 2024, Hanoi has recorded many days with severe air pollution, ranking among the worst in the world. The Air Quality Index (AQI) has often been at red and purple levels, meaning the air quality is poor or very poor. Pollution is now affecting suburban areas as well. On January 6, nine locations in Hanoi had poor air quality, while three areas—Van Ha Commune, Minh Khai Ward, and Soc Son Town—were rated as unhealthy, with AQI levels ranging from 164 to 194.

2. The AQI measures air quality from 0 to 500. When the AQI is between 151 and 300, experts warn that people should stay indoors as much as possible and wear masks to protect themselves from fine dust (PM2.5). The main causes of air pollution are emissions from vehicles, construction, industrial factories, and craft villages.

3. To improve air quality, Hanoi has introduced several measures. The city has eliminated over 99% of coal stoves, reduced rice straw burning by 80%, shut down many traditional brick kilns, started testing emissions from old motorbikes, increased inspections of polluting industries, and regularly cleaned the streets.

1. Maya Bay, located in Thailand, is another beautiful place that has suffered due to too much tourism. This stunning bay is on the island of Phi Phi Ley, which is part of the Phi Phi Islands. It has been one of the most famous spots in the area, attracting visitors from around the world with its clear turquoise water, soft sand, and high limestone cliffs.

2. Experts say that pollution from boats has caused serious damage to the coral reefs that once looked perfect. In addition to pollution from boats, litter and sunscreen have contributed to the destruction of over 80% of the coral reefs around Maya Bay. This has harmed marine life and made it harder for the ecosystem to survive.

3. To protect the environment, the Thai government decided to close Maya Bay to tourists. This closure allows the coral reefs, marine life, and underwater gardens to revive. The authorities have already planted new coral reefs and added trees along the beach to help prevent erosion.
