Presentations from the seminars at NILU During the visit 24 - 29 April 2006
1 Introduction
Regarding the remaining fund from the HEIA project supported by NORAD it was suggested that the money would be used for organizing one study tour for 3 Vietnamese persons to Norway. The programme should include Air quality monitoring and management. The participants of this study tour will include leaders from DONRE, Mr. Chien, Mr. Hien and Dr. Tuan. NILU organized the tour and prepared the programme
In addition NILU suggested that HEPA need to improve the application of the air quality data collected for modelling purposes. This is necessary in air quality planning, impact assessment and support to the ADB “Air Pollution, Poverty and Health (APPH)” project. We have suggested that the modelling expert at HEPA, MR Dam, spend two weeks with a group of NILU experts at NILU in June 2006.
The programme for the three Directors from DONRA was developed as presented at the next two pages. The schedule included seminars at NILU and visit to the Norwegian Pollution Control Authorities. The visit was organized as lectures and presentations, demonstrations, visits to laboratories; field visits and visits to national authorities. The content of the lectures was be related to the daily
activities and tasks undertaken by NILU and related to the air quality management programme undertaken by the authorities in Ho Chi Minh City.
2 Participants
The following persons from DONRE participated in the seminars and visits during their stay in Norway:
Mr. Nguyen Van Chien - Vice Director of DONRE HCMC
Mr. Tran Nguyen Hien - Director of PIU of VIE1702 Project (Component:
Air Quality)
Dr. Nguyen Dinh Tuan - Director of HEPA
3 Air quality understanding and future applications
An important part of the training at HEPA/DONRE has been the understanding of
air pollution. In the presentations at NILU we also included elements important
for the follow-up and sustainability of the programme developed by the NORAD
funds. Several presentations included air quality assessment, understanding of
atmospheric processes and dissemination of data end information.
as presented by the Vietnamese authorities have been important. Finally we hope
that HEPA will be able to perform abatement planning and action plans to reduce
the air pollution load in HCMC.
