Training courses on stack emission monitoring standards widely applied
in the world have been held environment officials, aimed at making these
standards applicable soon in Vietnam.
The
courses were organised for officials from the Department of Natural
Resources and Environment of Hanoi, Da Nang, Binh Duong, Bac Ninh, Long
An, Hai Duong, Quang Ngai and Soc Trang.
Developed
by the Vietnam Provincial Environmental Governance Project (VPEG) with
support from the Canadian government, the courses were expected to help
with the creation of policies and favourable legal environment to build
stack emission monitoring capacity in Vietnam.
Stack emission monitoring conducted by the Departments of Natural
Resources and Environment nationwide is currently limited to “quick”
measurements for some gaseous pollutants using portable analyzers.
These quick measurements do not conform to standardized procedures or international practices.-VNA
