Vietnam latest news - Thanh Nien Daily | Pollution on the rise in Vietnam’s major rivers: Persistent demographic and industrial problems over the past year have worsened the pollution in southern Vietnam’s major waterways, the Dong Nai and Saigon Rivers, Ho Chi Minh City authorities said.
A recent report by the city Department of Natural Resources and Environment said the Dong Nai River, the longest to run exclusively within Vietnam, from the Central Highlands to Ho Chi Minh City, and the Saigon River have been “increasingly polluted” by heavy metals, oil, fecal bacteria and microorganisms.
The salinity in the conjoining rivers also increased, according to the report issued November 11 after five years of tests.
