Air pollution in different microenvironments in Vietnam

The study quantified air quality in three indoor microenvironments (homes, public places, and transportation environments) in urban areas of Vietnam. The overall findings highlighted significant indoor and outdoor air quality problems in all three studied microenvironments. The research demonstrated the great potential of low-cost sensors to monitor air quality and the feasibility of car air filters to screen for chemicals in cars. Incense burning and smoking were found to be the leading factors correlated with negative indoor air quality in urban areas. These outcomes are significant for supporting policy formulation and public health interventions in Vietnam and similar developing countries
