Impact of Meteorological Factors and Extreme Weather Events on PM2.5 Pollution in Viet Nam

Air pollution is a major global challenge, with PM₂.₅ being among the most harmful pollutants. Its levels are influenced by both emissions and meteorological factors, which vary by geography and climate. Unlike previous studies focused on local ground data and therefore limited in regional-level data and analysis, this study uses modeled data from multiple sources to examine these relationships at a national scale, offering a broader perspective previously unexplored.
This study offers a comprehensive overview of how various meteorological factors interact with PM₂.₅ across the country, supporting more informed air quality management, climate adaptation, and disaster preparedness. Additionally, the findings provide valuable datasets for evaluating Vietnam’s progress toward its Net-Zero emissions target by 2050.
