During a meeting with Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee Nguyen The Hung in Hanoi on December 8, Raghunath said Hanoi is one of seven cities across the world chosen to pilot the project.
The project aims to evaluate air quality, identify polluted areas and build capacity for technical staff involved in the work.
