Environmental Pollution – A Story Without an End
The state of water pollution, partly due to inadequate wastewater treatment, is severe. Ho Chi Minh City has over 2,000 canals and rivers within and around the city. The water in these canals is heavily polluted with solid waste and wastewater. According to a report by the People’s Committee of Thường Tín District, Hanoi, in 2020, the area hosts more than 1,000 businesses and 16,000 production facilities, contributing to serious water pollution. The environmental pollution in areas surrounding wood coating production facilities is also considered quite complex. This pollution has a direct impact on the daily life, production, and business activities of local residents.
Causes and Consequences of Marine Environmental Pollution
Several factors contribute to environmental pollution in wood coating manufacturing plants. Two primary reasons are the expansion of factory density and improper waste management. The use of chemicals and inadequate waste treatment in paint factories can lead to water pollution. Additionally, aquatic ecosystems can be severely affected, impacting human health. This situation demands strict management to minimize negative effects on life and protect the health of surrounding communities.
Wastewater Treatment Methods
The issue of water pollution is becoming increasingly severe, necessitating intervention from government officials. Additionally, public awareness and the responsibility of businesses must be elevated.
Government Measures
The Vietnamese government recommends that manufacturing enterprises be located within industrial zones. Factories are required to have clear wastewater treatment systems. Moreover, industries that use harmful chemicals, such as tobacco, paint, and adhesives, must adhere to strict chemical concentration regulations. These chemicals include lead, cocaine, mercury, benzene, and others.
According to Article 235 of the 2015 Penal Code (amended in 2017), actions causing environmental pollution can incur fines ranging from 1 billion to 5 billion VND, depending on the severity of the violation. In more severe cases, businesses may have their operating licenses revoked. In the most severe cases, businesses can be banned from trading for 1 to 3 years.
