Dense smog engulfed many inner-city streets in Hanoi on Monday morning, forcing residents to turn on their vehicles’ lights in the daytime due to poor visibility.
However, the air quality became good at 8:00 am in the day in some downtown locations such as Kim Lien Kindergarten in Dong Da District, Tay Mo Street in Nam Tu Liem District, Bach Dang Kindergarten and the Hoang Van Thu Ward People’s Committee headquarters in Hai Ba Trung District, according to the Hanoi air quality monitoring portal.
