Hanoi 's People Committee has set a target to reduce pollution by key industries by 2015.
Its pollution management plan focuses on controlling chemical, textile,colourant, paper, food processing and natural resources exploitingindustries.
The plan stipulates all industrial and exportprocessing zones and high-tech parks must have waste water treatmentsystems which meet environment protection standards. Eighty percent ofdangerous industrial wastes would be collected, stored and treatedproperly.
Industrial manufacturing firms which causedserious environmental pollution would be closed down or moved out ofresidential areas. The city would support them with site clearance andinfrastructure construction to maintain production. Polluting plantswould get priority for land in industrial zones and intensive productionzones.
The city will publish lists of polluting factorieseach year and oversee the construction of automated waste observationsystems and data management in some industrial parks by 2013.
Meanwhile, the city is speeding up construction of waste watertreatment plants in concentrated industrial areas, including a plantinaugurated in Quang Minh 1 industrial park.
