Ô nhiễm rác thải nhựa - một vấn đề nan giải
This Vietnamese-language overview discusses plastic waste pollution as a serious global environmental problem, describing its impacts on ecosystems, wildlife, human health, and the economy. The paper calls for improved waste collection, recycling, and policy action to address the growing plastic crisis.
Initial assessment of the presence of plastic waste in some coastal mangrove forests in Vietnam
A survey of coastal mangrove forests in Vietnam found significant plastic waste accumulation, raising concerns for marine biodiversity and the coastal communities that depend on healthy mangrove ecosystems.
Riverine Microplastic Pollution in Vietnam: A Review of Current Scientific Knowledge and Legal Policies
This review summarizes current scientific knowledge and legal policies regarding microplastic pollution in Vietnam's rivers. Evidence indicates that microplastics are present in riverine surface water, sediments, and biota across Vietnam's canal and estuarine systems, with potential implications for human health through seafood consumption and drinking water.
Distribution of microplastics in surface water from Saigon River to Can Gio Sea
Researchers found widespread microplastic contamination in surface water samples from the Saigon River and Can Gio Sea in Vietnam, with concentrations and particle types shifting from river to coastal environments, reflecting the transport of land-based plastic pollution into marine systems.
Assessment and Sustainable Management Strategies for Plastic Waste in Can Tho City, Vietnam: A Circular Economy Approach
Researchers conducted a comprehensive analysis of plastic waste accumulation in both land and water environments in Can Tho City, Vietnam, applying a circular economy framework. The study proposes sustainable management strategies for reducing plastic pollution in a country with high per capita plastic consumption and significant waste discharge.
Plastic waste in sandy beaches and surface water in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam: abundance, characterization, and sources
Plastic waste surveys on three major beaches in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam documented abundant marine debris including microplastics, with quantities reflecting nearby anthropogenic activities and waste management gaps. The findings provide a baseline for coastal management and pollution control in the region.
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.
Current Status of Plastic Waste and Proposing Solutions to Raise Community Awareness in Reducing Plastic Waste in Vietnam
Researchers analyzed the current state of plastic waste in Vietnam, finding that total plastic waste reaches 3.27 million tons per year, with 90% burned, buried, or released into the environment and only 10% recycled. The study proposes targeted community awareness strategies — tailored to different audiences with long-term, scripted campaigns — to change consumption habits and promote the use of recycled and environmentally friendly alternatives.
Emergence of microplastics in the aquatic ecosystem and their potential effects on health risks: The insights into Vietnam
This review examines the growing microplastic contamination in Vietnam's waterways, where concentrations in surface water vary enormously depending on location. Highly populated cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City show the highest levels, with plastics entering water through agricultural runoff, textile production, and consumer products. The contamination poses health risks to millions of people through drinking water and seafood consumption.
Marine Plastic Litter in Phu Quoc Marine Protected Area, Vietnam: Current Status and Mitigation Approaches
Researchers assessed the current status of marine plastic litter in Phu Quoc Marine Protected Area (MPA) in Vietnam using secondary data analysis, semi-structured interviews, field measurements, and quadrat-based sampling methods. The study documented plastic debris impacts on the MPA's ecosystems, marine services, human wellbeing, and economy, proposing mitigation approaches for managing plastic pollution in this protected marine region.
Plastic Waste and Difficulties in Management in Vietnam
This paper is not about microplastics — it provides an overview of plastic waste generation, management challenges, and the limited recycling rate in Vietnam, where about 90% of plastic waste is burned, buried, or released to the environment.
Household-Level Strategies to Tackle Plastic Waste Pollution in a Transitional Country
Researchers surveyed 730 Vietnamese households on plastic waste management strategies, finding that waste sorting, environmental fund contributions, and willingness to relocate from polluted areas varied based on socioeconomic factors and environmental awareness.
Application of GIS in forecasting ocean plastic waste in the South Central Coast, Vietnam (Case study in Da Nang City)
Researchers applied GIS-based modeling to forecast the transport and distribution of plastic waste entering the ocean along Vietnam's South Central Coast, demonstrating how spatial data can support policymakers in targeting plastic waste reduction interventions.
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.
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.
Abundances and characteristics of sedimentary microplastics in the three main Vietnamese Rivers
Researchers characterized the abundance, types, and distribution of microplastics in sediments of Vietnam's three major rivers, contextualizing findings within Vietnam's status as one of the world's top plastic waste-polluting countries with approximately 3.1 million metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste annually.
Microplastics in natural seafood of Vietnam and their potential exposure to consumers: A mini review
Researchers reviewed studies on microplastic contamination in seafood from Vietnam, finding plastic particles in 21 marine species including fish, shrimp, and shellfish, with fish carrying the highest loads. The findings highlight that consumers eating Vietnamese seafood regularly are ingesting microplastics, raising public health concerns about exposure through a major food source.
Thực Trạng Rác Thải Tại Một Số Trường Trung Học Cơ Sở Ở Quận Thanh Khê, Thành Phố Đà Nẵng Năm 2022
This Vietnamese study assessed waste management practices at two middle schools in Da Nang in 2022, focusing on plastic waste. Researchers found that single-use plastic waste was a major component of school garbage and proper disposal habits were lacking. The study highlights the need for environmental education and waste reduction programs in Vietnamese schools.
Current Plastic Waste Status and Its Leakage at Tam Giang–Cau Hai Lagoon System in Central Vietnam
Researchers quantified the annual leakage of plastic waste into the Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon system in central Vietnam by surveying surrounding urban and rural areas and applying a waste flow diagram model, estimating substantial annual plastic input to this coastal lagoon. The findings highlight the link between inadequate solid waste management and plastic contamination of aquatic ecosystems.
Nghiên cứu mức độ ô nhiễm vi nhựa trong nước và trầm tích sông Sài Gòn–Đồng Nai
