ClearEnvironmental health risks for worker housing near Vietnam industrial zones
Researchers assessed environmental health risks for migrant workers living near industrial zones in Vietnam by measuring water quality metals and ambient air particulate matter from 2018 through 2020. While focused primarily on metals and air quality rather than microplastics specifically, the study documents pollution exposure pathways relevant to understanding industrial contamination in developing regions. The findings highlight the vulnerability of informal housing communities near industrial areas to multiple environmental pollutants.
Assessment of current water quality status in clam areas in Thai Binh Province and proposal for measures to improve efficiency
This study assessed water quality in clam farming areas in Thai Binh Province, Vietnam, monitoring multiple parameters to evaluate farming conditions. Water quality in shellfish farming areas is relevant to microplastic research, as clams accumulate microplastics and other contaminants from their surrounding water.
Influences of anthropogenic activities on water quality in the Saigon River, Ho Chi Minh City
Researchers assessed water quality across agricultural, industrial, residential, and less-impacted zones of the Saigon River in Ho Chi Minh City, measuring physicochemical parameters, nutrients, heavy metals, and antibiotic residues across rainy and dry seasons. Higher turbidity and BOD5 levels were observed in the rainy season, highlighting the influence of land use and seasonal variation on river water quality.
Ecological risk assessment of microplastics and heavy metals in Northern Vietnam's estuarine sediments: A case study of Ba Lat and Bach Dang
Researchers assessed microplastic abundance and ecological risk alongside ten heavy metals in estuarine sediments from the Ba Lat and Bach Dang estuaries of northern Vietnam's Red-Thai Binh River system, finding co-contamination patterns that pose compounded ecological risks to these biodiverse coastal ecosystems.
Evaluating Pollution from Aquaculture Materials and Developing Sustainable Alternatives to Reduce Marine Environmental Impacts: A Case Study in Vietnam
Researchers assessed the status of marine pollution associated with aquaculture activities in Vietnam, with particular emphasis on plastic and microplastic contamination from aquaculture materials, and developed recommendations for more sustainable alternatives to reduce the environmental footprint of coastal aquaculture operations.
Microplastic abundance and characteristics in seawater and inter-tidal sediments of the Tokin Bay Coast (North Vietnam)
This study characterized microplastic abundance and properties in seawater and intertidal sediments along the northern coast of Vietnam, providing some of the first systematic microplastic data for this developing country. The results document significant contamination in abiotic marine compartments of a rapidly industrializing coastal region.
Bivalves Diversity and Abundance in the Coastal Waters: An Environmental Pollution Monitoring Measure
Researchers assessed bivalve species diversity, abundance, and water physicochemical factors at three sites in Banyuurip Village, Indonesia, using the assemblage as a bioindicator of water quality impacts from industrial and household waste pollution.
Environmental pollution indices: a review on concentration of heavy metals in air, water, and soil near industrialization and urbanisation
This review examines how industrial and urban activity raises heavy metal levels in air, water, and soil. Heavy metals from industrial waste, mining, and agriculture can damage cells and increase cancer risk, highlighting the need for comprehensive monitoring near industrial zones.
Contaminant Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Heavy Metals in Seawater and Sediments in a Typical Mariculture Bay in South China
Researchers assessed heavy metal contamination in seawater and sediments of Qinzhou Bay, a major mariculture area in South China, finding seasonal variations in metal concentrations influenced by river input, aquaculture activities, and hydrodynamic conditions.
A Review of Microplastics Pollution in the River Basin of Vietnam in Comparison with the World Context
This review examines microplastic pollution across Vietnam's river basins in the context of global patterns, finding significant contamination in surface water, sediments, aquatic organisms, and mangrove ecosystems — particularly in coastal urban areas — with concentrations in some urban rivers reaching 519,000 pieces/m³.
Environmental Quality and Ecological Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in the Zhuhai Coast, China
Researchers assessed heavy metal distribution and ecological risk in seawater, sediments, and organisms across the Zhuhai coast of China, finding that copper, zinc, and lead exceeded seawater standards and that cadmium and copper posed moderately high ecological risk. Chemical company emissions were identified as the main contributors to the elevated cadmium and copper levels.
Risk assessment of microplastic exposure: A case study near a refinery factory at the central coast of Vietnam
Researchers assessed microplastic contamination on a beach near a refinery on the central coast of Vietnam and found plastic particles in all collected samples, averaging about 1,582 particles per kilogram of sediment. Fibers and fragments were the dominant shapes, with polyethylene terephthalate being the most common polymer type. The study indicates that industrial coastal areas face elevated microplastic pollution levels that may pose environmental and health risks.
Preliminary Determination of Heavy Metals in Sediment, Water, and Some Macroinvertebrates in Tawi-Tawi Bay, Philippines
Researchers conducted a preliminary assessment of heavy metal concentrations in sediment, water, and macroinvertebrates at multiple sites in Tawi-Tawi Bay in the Philippines. The study establishes baseline data on chemical pollution in this understudied coastal area.
Water Pollution Index and Microplastic Ecological Risk in The North Coastal Area of Situbondo
Researchers assessed water quality and microplastic ecological risk across 15 locations along the northern coast of Situbondo, Indonesia, and found mild water pollution throughout the study area. Microplastics were found at all sampling sites, with industrial-adjacent areas and estuaries showing higher ecological risk than natural river locations. The study provides baseline data on the extent of microplastic contamination in an Indonesian coastal region and highlights the need for monitoring near industrial zones.
Microplastic pollution and ecological risk in estuaries and coastal areas: A case study at Han River estuary, Da Nang city, Vietnam
This study measured microplastic pollution in Vietnam's Han River estuary and found plastic particles at every sampling location, with levels varying by season. While focused on environmental monitoring, the findings matter for human health because estuarine waters supply local fisheries and communities, creating direct exposure pathways through seafood consumption.
