The Red River Delta province of Bac Ninh on May 26 inaugurated six works designed to treat exhaust fumes discharged from non-ferrous recycling furnaces.
These works, each capable of treating 20,000 cu.m of exhaust fumes an hour, were built at six cooperatives in three craft villages, Van Mon, Dai Bai and Quang Phu, with technical assistance provided by the Centre for Science, Technology and Environment under the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance.
These projects which cost more than US$70,000 sourced from the Japanese Government’s official development assistance (ODA) are expected to improve the working and living conditions in the targeted craft villages.
Bac Ninh province is home to 62 craft villages, including 30 traditional and 32 newly-formed ones that make iron and steel products, paper and alcohol, recycle aluminium, and cast bronze items.
