The province has invested more than VND77 billion(US$3.6 million) to install 13 automatic wastewater monitors at industrial parks since 2012. The monitors have helped the province improve control pollution.
Efforts are being made by the provincial authorities to move polluting ceramics factories and slaughterhouses out of residential areas. The deadline to move these businesses was extended from Dec 2014 to Dec. 30, 2015. Livestock farms and slaughterhouses have been encouraged to move to many rural areas selected by the province to develop animal husbandry.
