Thanh Pho Thai Nguyen MAP AIR QUALITY ANALYSIS AND STATISTICS

What information can be gleaned from the air pollution map for Thai Nguyen?

The air pollution map for Thai Nguyen is very easy to find from the city’s main page, simply click on the map and a new page will open which is dedicated to the air quality in and around the city. The first thing that will strike the viewer is the overall colour of the map. In June 2022, the overall colour was a greenish/yellow which could be classed as being “Moderate” quality. The explanation as to what the colours mean can be found in the legend at the bottom of the page. They range from pale green which indicates “Good” quality air to dark maroon which indicates “Hazardous” quality.

There could also be several coloured discs on the map which indicate the positions of the ground-level air monitoring stations. If one of those discs is chosen, then a brand-new page will open with all the information about that particular station and its environs. These discs also show a number which is the US AQI reading. This is calculated by measuring up to six of the most commonly found air pollutants and is used when making comparisons between different cities across the globe. It is encouraged by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Immediately below the map is listed the number of stations that provide data regarding the air quality. In Thai Nguyen, there was only one station which we are told is operated by the local government. The station is located at Thái nguyên: Đường Hùng Vương - Tp Thái Nguyên (KK).

On the main city page, it can be seen that Thai Nguyen was experiencing a period of “Moderate” air quality towards the end of the second quarter of 2022 with a US AQI reading of 95. The levels of three pollutants were listed but the main one is PM2.5 with a level of 33 µg/m³. The WHO suggests a ceiling limit of 5 µg/m³ so this figure is over six and a half times higher.

Can any other information be gathered from the air pollution map for Thai Nguyen?

When the map is first opened it can appear a little cluttered, but when it is opened in full-screen mode, things will become clearer. On the left-hand side of the screen will be four selections which can be toggled on or off as desired. The first option will reveal or hide the location of the ground-level air monitoring stations which, as previously stated, appear as coloured discs superimposed over the city and its surroundings. The second choice shows the location of any fires that are burning in the vicinity of the city. This needs to be looked at with option four which shows the direction the wind is blowing in. Together it will give a good indication as to whether or not the city will be affected by the ensuing smoke. Perhaps the most surprising is the third option which changes the background colour of the map. This overall colour reflects the air quality in that area. Some may find it a little confusing so when it is deactivated, the map reverts to normal colours expected on a map.

Over on the right-hand side of the map will be seen a table which ranks world cities according to their level of air pollution. The dirtiest city will appear at the top and the rest are listed in descending order. It can be quite entertaining to look and see which cities are on the list. Some may come as a surprise.

Can areas of high-level pollution be identified on the air pollution map for Thai Nguyen?

These areas can be identified by looking for the station with the highest US AQI reading. This is straightforward for Thai Nguyen as there is only one station providing data. Its name is shown beneath the map together with the number of followers it has. Further down the page, it is seen that the station is operated by the Department of Environment.

Areas commonly known for higher levels of air pollution are the factory sites and industrial zones because of their activities. Very often the city centre can show elevated levels at certain times of the day, especially during the morning and evening commutes of rush hour.

Is the source of the air pollution shown on the air quality map for Thai Nguyen?

The source of the polluted air is not directly shown on the air quality map for Thai Nguyen. Recently, many localities in the country, including Thai Nguyen province, have been facing the problem of air pollution. Typically, the increase in dust pollution in the air both in scale and level in urban areas and around industrial parks, mineral mining areas, construction sites, etc. and construction work. Sources of dust and emissions from traffic, especially vehicles transporting construction materials and minerals with large loads; construction activities in works, urban areas, industrial parks, renovation and repair of roads; from industrial production facilities, especially metallurgical, thermal power, cement production facilities, and facilities with boilers using fossil fuels and biomass that generate dust and emissions but are not treated. meet standards.

PM2.5 often appears on the air pollution map for Thai Nguyen, but what is it?

When the concentration of PM2.5 fine dust in the outdoor air increases, it will cause the air to become blurred and the visibility will be reduced to look like fog. Because of its microscopic size, PM2.5 fine dust can easily enter the human body through inhalation and cause a number of dangerous diseases such as stroke, heart disease and cancer. People who are often exposed to dust can face health problems such as sneezing, runny nose, shortness of breath and dry eyes. Long-term exposure will decrease lung function and increase mortality from lung cancer and heart disease in patients. In addition to this, PM2.5 is also known to promote and accelerate the progression of cirrhosis and increase the risk of metabolic disease and dysfunction of the liver, which contributes to the development of diabetes.

In addition to the disease capable of causing respiratory diseases, fine dust can also reach the alveoli at the base of the bronchial tubes and overcome the gas-blood barrier of the patient to enter the circulatory system and cause disease. It even can affect the nervous system and affect the structure of DNA, causing psychological illness and serious memory loss for patients.
